River from River by Bonnie Montgomery

River, shining in the sun like a diamond
Running through my veins like lightning, big river
River, calling out my name in the nighttime
River running wild and rolling free

Mama said, “don’t climb that tree”
But the river kept callin out to me
Then I climbed, I climbed so high
Just to see my river shine

And when you roll, ya sing hallelujah
Your water flows, through Memphis, Tennessee
And I see your water shining
And I feel you running free

River, shining in the sun like a diamond
Running through my veins like lightning, big river
River, calling out my name in the nighttime
River running wild and rolling free

The river rolls, she rolls on everyday
And she knows the things she cannot say
And she sees all the seasons fly
All across the tides of time

And when she rolls, she sings hallelujah
Her water flows, through Memphis, Tennessee
And I see her water shining
And I feel you running free
