River Rise - David Crosby, Michael McDonald

It’s light in California

The voices are speaking low

And the wheels line up

Pointing the direction they want to go

The cold is hanging on now

The heat will be here soon

And those same old thoughts

Coming back around like a black moon

Let the river rise

Open up the skies

Not gonna wash away

Let the walls come down

Turn around

Into a fortress

Let the river rise

Open up the skies

Time won’t slip away

Let the clock run out

Don’t care about it

Not today

The golden light surrounding

A sea of humanity

And the wind has its own language

Spoken by the trees

Diamonds shine forever

Underneath a twilight sky

And the day grows dim

I start to believe always one more try

Let the river rise

Open up the skies

Not gonna wash away

Let the walls come down

Turn around

Into a fortress

Let the river rise

Open up the skies

Time won’t slip away

Let the clock run out

Don’t care about it

Not today

Coming in too fast

For an easy landing

It’s out of my heart

It’s out of my head (wish I could rule the scoreboard)

It’s out of my hands (but it’s out of my hands)

Let the river rise

Open up the skies

Not gonna wash away

Let the walls come down

Turn around

Into a fortress

Let the river rise

Open up the skies

Time won’t slip away

Let the clock run out

Don’t care about it

Not today

Let the river rise

Let the clock run out

(Let the clock run out)

Let the river rise

(Let it rise)

Let the clock run out
