All water wants to find its own level
Wants to return to the raging sea
Shares itself with the thirsty
Pushes out of the eddy
Fills every living thing
So we can be alive
So take this water
Send it back to the river
All medicine wants pain to heal
Needs a doctor a patient & little pills
Feels our sorrows & ills
But our bodies want to move
Remember how it feels
What it's like to be alive
So take this body
Send it back to the river
Wash my face clean my soul
Send me back to the river
All love wants to give itself away
To everyone that sees its face
Shines the light out every day
And still has kindness for our shame
Wants to explode out of the dark
So we can be alive
So take this love back to the river
Take my life, take my love
Send me back to the river
