letra de roll river roll - mike love

i been dreaming lately ’bout this place in the country where the air is clean
unplug the cords and flip off the switches, kick off my shoes and feel the gr-ss beneath my feet
sooner or later everyone will face this, wanna be the first one to embrace
and kick a hole right through my television, sit out on my porch with a big smile upon my face
’cause high above the tallest skyscr-pers, deep in the cracks beneath the city streets
the seeds of change are already growing, everywhere people oare feeling incomplete
unconsciously, they are awakening
roll river roll, we gotta wash this whole place clean
and make the city like it never was, a faded memory or a dream
roll river roll, we gotta wash these tears away
i wanna face you, don’t wanna never be afraid
and when, the rivers subside and the saplings rise
will we make a better choice than before
or are we bound to remake all the same mistakes once more
four sisters floated about on a raft fashioned out of the splintered remains of their home
they were cast out to sea by a storm wild and free and left to drift in the doldrums alone
one had brought silver, and another had gold, and a diamond so big it took two hands to hold
and the third had a brush and some lipstick and blush, to apply was her plan, at the first sight of land
but the fourth sister wept, for there was nothing she had kept of the broken world they left behind
she wept for the three, for even now they weren’t free, as she gazed upon them one last time
and as they squabbled and fought over who had owned what, she said her goodbyes silently
and she tiptoed away on the crest of a wave, and the rest were buried in the sea
they were buried in the heart of the sea
roll river, black water, swallow the tears from the sky, rise higher
for 40 nights and for 40 days, we’re gonna have to learn to live a better way
