 {:Intro:}

 When the mountain touches the valley, all the clouds are taught to fly

 As our souls will leave this land most peacefully

 Though our minds be filled with questions in our hearts we'll understand

 When the river meets the sea

 Like a flower that has blossomed in the dry and barren sand

 We are born and born again most gracefully

 Thus the winds of time will take us with a sure and steady hand

 When the river meets the sea

Patience my brothers and patience my son

In that [F#7}sweet and final hour

 Truth and justice will be done

 Like a baby when it is sleeping in it's loving mother's arms

 What a newborn baby dreams is a mystery

 But his life will find a purpose and in time he'll understand

 When the river meets the sea

 When the river meets the almighty sea
