There are songs beyond the sky
Missing melodies to find
You got stars inside your eyes
Tiny parts of holy lies
There are mountains on the sun
Where the ancient horses run
All tryin' to find where they went wrong
So they can see how far they've come

I say
Running river
Take me home
Running river
Take me home

You were born to live a life
Passing by you at the speed of light
You're always wrong, you're never right
A spinning world and satellite
So sing a song for love and grace
Write a screenplay for the human race
A tale of tragedy and waste
To wipe that smile from off your face

So I say
Running river
Take me home
Back to the town that I came from
To how it was when I was young
Under timeless skies
Running river
Take me home
Back to a world where I belong

(Oh running river run run run)
(Oh running river run run, run)
(Oh running river, oh running river)
(Oh running river run run run)
[x2]

Running river
Take me home
Back to the town where I came from
To how it was when I was young
Under timeless skies
Oh running river run run run
Oh running river run run run
Running river
Running river
Running river
Take me home
