River without end

They changed all the names
paving over fields where we used to dance
They twisted the frame
We ain't even in the picture no more
All we're left is grief
to replace our shattered belief
remember

River, it never end
Over and over just another bend
Heavens asunder may rend
but over and over
the broken will mend

We bury our dead
knowing they'll put a mall on top of the graves
The horizon was red
now it's just a shiny, virtual sky
so how much was real
of all our youthful ideals?

And it's all over now
in this defeat
everywhere you turn you see deceit
And you're hearing my words
and they don't mean a thing
but I offer my hand and the songs I sing

River, it never end
Over and over just another bend
Heavens asunder may rend
but over and over
the broken will mend

The struggle ain't over, it's a river without end
The struggle ain't over, it's a river without end
