1
High above the forest in an unseen place
2
Where the clouds will gather on another race
3
In the dungeon depths of an unknown cave
4
There's a stream that springs with a world to save
5
And it gathers up strength as it rolls along
6
And it gathers up hope for everyone
7
But it runs to plains where the farmlands weep
8
Through the brand new gardens where rich men sleep
9
I'm gonna find it, I'm gonna prove it
10
And show the whole damned world how to use it
11
When I find it, when I prove it
12
I know that some damned fool is gonna lose it
13
For it's the river of hope, from the pool of tears
14
It's the river of hope, it's the river we lost for years
15
Past the chemical plant where the junk flows in
16
By the nuclear project where the children swim
17
Under bridges in a city where the bodies float
18
And the summer smell keeps the flies remote
19
I'm gonna find it, I'm gonna prove it
20
And show the whole damned world how to use it
21
When I find it, when I prove it
22
I know that some damned fool is gonna lose it
23
For it's the river of hope, from the pool of tears
24
It's the river of hope, it's the river we lost for years
25
Through the swamp of a ghetto where the mission was lost
26
Where the dope is king and the silver boss
27
Past the trash and wreckage from the garbage trucks
28
Past the oil slick where the jail boat docks
29
To a home in some sea at the nations end
30
Where the submarine is freedom's friend
31
If we need that river like we did before
32
There can be no need for it lives no more
33
I'm gonna find it, I'm gonna prove it
34
And show the whole damned world how to use it
35
When I find it, when I prove it
36
I know that some damned fool is gonna lose it
37
For it's the river of hope, from the pool of tears
38
It's the river of hope, it's the river we lost for years
39
For it's the river of hope, from the pool of tears
40
It's the river of hope, it's the river we lost for years
