When the River Meets the Sea

When the mountain touches the valley

All the clouds are taught to fly

As our souls will leave this land most peacefully

Though our minds be filled with questions

In our hearts we'll understand

When the river meets the sea

Like a flower that has blossomed

In the dry & barren sand

We are born & born again most gracefully

Thus the winds of time will take us

With a sure and steady hand

When the river meets the sea

Patience, my brother and patience, my son

In that sweet and final hour

Truth and justice will be done

Like a baby when it is sleeping

In its loving mother's arms

What a newborn baby dreams is a mystery (a mystery)

But his life will find a purpose

And in time he'll understand

When the river meets the sea

When the river meets the almighty sea
