Lyrics:
If the river calls
Will you walk with me
Will you walk with me
To the water’s side
If the road turns dark
I will light the way
And I will stand with you
Until the dawn

When the day is slow
And the shadows grow
Still the evening hums
With a gentle tune
You might miss the sound
If you turn away
And that would weigh
Upon my soul

Companions gather near
With their voices clear
As the firelight
Begins to climb
Even stars above
Seem to nod in time
A moment made
For hearts to find

If the river calls
Will you walk with me
Will you walk with me
To the water’s side
If the road turns dark
I will light the way
And I will stand with you
Until the dawn
