When I woke up this morning Looked out at the sun I heard the rooster crowing Big brother is dead and gone Still, the river is flowing Down to the sea And the sun is shining Baby on you and me Hear the people singing that freedom song See that peace flag flying Flying for everyone So many hearts have spoken So many dreams come true Still, the river is flowing And baby just look at you Still, the river is flowing Down to the sea And the sun is shining On a land that is free Hear the people singing that freedom song See that peace flag flying Flying for everyone When I lay down this evening Looked up at the sky So many stars are shining For all the sons that have died Still, the river is flowing Down to the sea And the sun is shining On you and me
