I was born by the river
raised by the sea
baptised in mudd water
to drown the devil in me
I'm going back to the river
down to the stream
I'm going 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 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
come on take my hand
I'm gonna follow that water
to the Promise 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
