River Is Waiting - Irma Thomas

The river is waiting

Come rise up

A new day is coming

Come rise up

Well be sailing at first light

Come gather

Set our course for the crossing

Together

Sail on sail on

River sail on

Sail on sail on

River sail on

The river is waiting

I&apos m ready

To slip from this island

I&apos m ready

Gonna leave all my sorrows

Behind me

Lift my face to the new day

Im rising

Oh sail on sail on

River sail on

Sail on sail on

River sail on

Sail on sail on

River sail on

Sail on sail on

River sail on

Sail on sail on

River sail on

Sail on sail on

River sail on

Sail on sail on

River sail on

Sail on sail on

River sail on

Sail on sail on
