song of the rio grande (for oscar and valeria martínez ramírez) - kurt elling lyrics

Loading...

i used to hear the running of the river as a song with no ending
the sound was like a message to my spirit that the river was sending
the rushing of the water played with harmonies continually ascending
enchanted by the river i would stand alone in fear / and ever trembling
the rio grande filled my heart

but now i’ve seen a side of things that makes the song a curious tune
(it seems) the river is a siren calling underneath a cowardly moon
and harmonies grow darkеr as as the revelation opеns up to me
(and up to you)
because now i’ve seen the river k!ll our brother and our tiny sister too
the rio grande has drowned my heart

of course, it’s not the river / it’s the people we’ve elected to lead us
who make the walls and send the armored wagons for the ones who would join us
while billionaires recline upon divans upholstered in the skins of slaughter
and feast upon the children we should think of as our only sons and daughters
america, you’ve lost your heart

(and it’s no excuse / just being blind)
america, you’ve lost your mind
