The River Unbroken

Lyrics

Waiting for the train to come
 I keep a waiting for the train to come
 Dreamin' of the river and the rising sun
 I keep thinkin' 'bout the world to come
 My life packed up in a suitcase
 Old man staring from a doorway
 My hope tarries in the distance
 Love comes on the wheels of my deliverance
 Where is the river unbroken
 When will the whistle blow
 Waitin' for the train to come
 I keep waitin' for the train to come
 Keepin' my appointment with the one who lives
 In the heart of everything that is
 All night sleepin' in a station
 My God, it's hard not to be impatient
 I watch through the windows of forgiveness
 I cry but my word's my only witness
 Where is the river unbroken
 
 When will the whistle blow
 Where is the river unbroken
 
 When will the whistle blow
 Sometimes I feel I can't go on, I can't go on
 I get so tired, all passion's gone
 My heart, my head, my arms, my legs, I get so tired
 Then something breaks inside my soul, my strength is gone
 That spirit's finally taking hold
 My ears can hear, my eyes can see
 Those clouds of joy still cover me, cover me, cover me
 Where is the river unbroken
 When will the whistle blow
 Where is the river unbroken
 
 When will the whistle blow
 Where is, where is the river unbroken
 When will the whistle blow
 Waiting for the train to come
 I keep waiting for the train to come
