Listen To Rise River Rise - Video Track 2
You were running on empty, just a kid on the road
It was one kind of place, yet you called it your home
The thing we call love can be so hard to find
Your own private Hollywood star state of mind

Did the road frown before you like a familiar face?
The dark blood, the desert, a desolate place
In a black western sky, you’re a bright star that time can’t erase

Rise River Rise
You’re the sun shining high in the skies
The passion you gave speaks to us from the grave
Yeah flow on forever
And Rise River Rise

You’re the modern Faust legend, or did you play the fool?
With a shake of your hand, did you sell him your soul?
Those rock ‘n’ roll junkies; you called them your friends.
But where were they, Rio, where were they in the end?

Did a secret affliction hold you in its sway?
One wild western Sunset that took you away
In this life you are gone, but your legend lives on here today

Rise River Rise
Disillusion, the clouds in your eyes
The life that you gave was the life none could save
Yeah flow on forever,
And Rise River Rise

Rise River Rise
You’re the sun shining high in the skies
The passion you gave speaks to us from the grave
Yeah flow on forever
And Rise River Rise

I’ll stand by you, Rio, and you stand by me
Wipe the tears from their eyes, help the people to see
Your soul’s scintillating; your spirit’s so true
Oh Rio, my brother, this one’s for you

He speaks to me softly across the way,
“Keep my spirit alive in the song that you play”
Like the flight of the Phoenix, he will rise in my song here today
River, please stay!

Rise River Rise
You’re the sun shining high in the skies
The passion you gave speaks to us from the grave
Please flow on forever
And Rise River Rise
Please flow on forever
And Rise River Rise
