Lyrics:

He went down to the river
And this is what she said:
I look simple yet I'm complex
I do not distract
I have the same color
As the son I was built of
My shape is beautiful

From a stream she cried me a river
and at the river she showed me my dream
only peace could deliver
the son of sons and let him rescue me anyway

Slave to the river
Following no sinner
Slave to the river
Following no sinner from the river
Teardops gonna flow away
Sunshine gonna bow the rain.
Teardops gonna flow away
Sunshine gonna bow the rain.

When the smoke cleared
she was standing there
There was no more fear on the battlefield
Tell me who is fit to judge a man
That was there from before time began
The ancient spirit from the river bank
babtunde son of a great man that was known to be a givin' one
Living son of a mother that is beautiful
oh I feel so powerful

When I flow
Slave to the river
Following no sinner
Slave to the river
Following no sinner
Teardops gonna flow away
Sunshine gonna bow the rain.
Who said people go a strain
we will all flow this way.

Follow the one
and only true don gogon
"lay" was born from the soil
that was planted by the "gwan
I am the son of sons of chamnuka and
Nehanda hrere true kwere kwere african
who's knocking at my door and
want fi offer me american
brainwash my nation to amageddon
with nuclear science, technology and money charm
is how them want become to the third nations
but soon and very soon I ah know
that their day will come
prophecied in revelations
cry me a river where peace sees
the morning sun
and the resurrection of leader and swan.

Slave to the river
Following no sinners
Slave to the river river river
Following no sinners Slave
Teardops have a flow away
Sunshine have a bow the rain.
Who said people go a strain
we will all flow this way.
Slave to the river
Following no sinner
Teardops have a flow away
Sunshine have a bow the rain.
