Great River Road
Journey of Redemption: Great River's Meaning
Lyrics
I was born where the rivers run
I was born in a place where rivers flow.
Native blood runs through my veins
I have Native American heritage.
I was born where the eagles come
I come from a place where eagles frequent, possibly a place of natural beauty.
Waiting till the winter fades
I was born in a time of hardship, waiting for better times.
I was born an endangered son
I was born vulnerable, at risk.
I was spared by a mother's dream
I was protected by a mother's vision or hope.
I was saved by the power of love
Love saved me from harm or danger.
I was snatched from the fire of greed
I was rescued from the destructive nature of greed.
Great river road where justice rolled
Refers to a path or journey where justice prevailed.
Let it roll, let it roll down
Encouraging the continuation of justice's positive impact.
Great river road where healing flowed
Refers to a path or journey where healing occurred.
Let it flow, let it flow now
Encouraging the continuation of the positive effects of healing.
I was born to an orphaned son
I was born to parents who were without support or family.
I was seed from a broken life
My life started from a difficult situation.
I was just like the other ones
I was similar to others, facing challenges.
Waiting on the other side
Waiting for a better situation or circumstance.
I was born because freedom won
I came into existence because freedom prevailed.
Mother sent me down the stream
I was given up or sent away by my mother for my safety.
I was saved by the power of love
Love played a significant role in my rescue.
I was snatched from the fire of greed
I was saved from a harmful or destructive situation caused by greed.
