I was born by the river
Raised by the sea
Baptized in muddy water 
To drown the devil in me
I’m going back to the river
Down to the stream
I’m gonna follow that water
And find my dream

Where St. John be waiting on me
To wash my sins away
Hey St. Christopher pray for me
Cos baby I’m on my way

Where the rivers flow
Where the rivers flow
Just around the bend
I’ll find my rainbows end 
Maybe then I’ll know
Where the rivers flow

You know the gypsy woman told me
About a river of gold
Full of dreams for the asking
In the valley of souls
So I called to the [bad word] on take my hand
I’m gonna follow the water
To the Promised Land

Where St. John be waiting on me
To wash my sins away
Hey St. Christopher pray for me
Cos baby I’m on my way

Where the rivers flow
Where the rivers flow
Just around the bend
I’ll find my rainbows end
And maybe then I’ll know 
Where the rivers flow
