They said it was a sailing
ship
But it sailed on the line
of the dead and the quick
Mama mama won't you come here
quick
There's a light shining down
'bout to make me sick
How the river shone like fire
How the light flashed in the
tower
All heaven's glory
Dazzled the eye
How the River Swift keeps
rolling
Far from these prisons' scarlet
walls
They said a voice began to
speak
And the words were in a line
They said a singing sound
came down
And the words were all in
rhyme
And they said that it spoke
of love
And they said that it spoke
of love
When there's peace on earth
When there's truth on earth
You've heard it on your tv
screen
How the light came down and
that crazy scene
100 million years ago
When Mary and Joseph went
to Mexico
How the people fell at their
feet
How their words were oh so
sweet
There was nothing real
It was all done with mirrors
How the River Swift keeps
rolling
Far from these prisons' scarlet
walls
How the River Swift keeps
rolling
Far from these prisons' scarlet
walls
