Like a bird from prison bars,
I'm escaping and behind me
on the long highway is all that I'm forsaking.
Oh river flows, I am bound from the river you come.
Chorus:
I'm gonna bathe in the river, gonna hold my head up in the river.
Not gonna worry any more until I reach that home....
I don't feel afraid of how I feel, and in family I will be free.
Oh river flowing, I'm gonna learn how to cope when you're gone.
I'm gonna bathe in the river, gonna hold my head up in the river.
Not gonna worry any more gonna reach that home....
Mighty river, hear that rushing sound...
I'm gonna bathe in the river, gonna hold my head up in the river,
not gonna worry anymore gonna reach that home
