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 captain  [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
