The River
Riverside Revelations: Harmony in Nature's Whisper
Lyrics
Went down to the river
Expressing the act of going to the river
I got down on my knees
Symbolic gesture of humility and reverence
She said honey quit your talking and listen to me
A call to pay attention and listen
I am the mother of this land, it's on secrets that I stand
Identification of the speaker as the mother of the land, emphasizing reliance on hidden truths
Woah
An exclamation, possibly indicating intensity or significance
Won't you come down, come down
Repetition urging to come down, highlighting a call to action, with emphasis on darkness and the need for truth
Oh, she's calling
-Come down, come down
-Oh, she's singing
-Come down, come down
-Oh, it's in darkness we're living
-Shine the light
-Oh and let the truth be spoken
-So I followed along, along the water
The narrator follows along the river, symbolizing a journey
And I heard all the stories of the sons and the daughters
Learning from the stories of the past, possibly from the community represented by sons and daughters
She said time and time the seasons come, bullets keep on leaving guns
Reflection on cycles of time, hinting at the destructive nature of bullets and the inevitability of change
Sun does shine and the bees all hum, when you gonna learn that we're all one
Highlighting unity with nature and a plea to recognize the interconnectedness of all
Won't you come down, come down
Repetition of the call to come down, stressing the darkness in which society lives and the need for truth
Oh, she's calling
-Come down, come down
-Oh, she's singing
-Come down, come down
-Oh, it's in darkness we're living
-Shine the light
-Oh and let the truth be spoken
-Won't you come down, come down
Further emphasis on the call to come down
Come down, come down
-Come down, come down
-Come down, come down
-Won't you come down, come down
Reiteration of the call, emphasizing darkness and the act of singing as a form of communication
Come down, come down
-Oh, hear her singing
-Come down, come down
-Oh it's in darkness we're living
-Come down, come down
-Come down, come down
-Oh, hear her calling
-Come down, come down
-Oh, hear her singing
-Come down, come down
-Oh, it's in darkness we're living
-Shine the light
Final call to shine the light and let the truth be spoken, underscoring the importance of enlightenment and honesty
Oh and let the truth be spoken
