Robin: When the mountain touches the valley
All the clouds are taught to fly
As our souls will leave this land most peacefully
Though our minds be filled with questions
In our hearts we'll understand
When the river meets the sea
John Denver: Like a flower that has blossomed
In this dry and barren sand
We are born and born again most gracefully
Plus the winds of time will take us
With a sure and steady hand
When the river meets the sea
All: Patience my brothers
And patience my son
In that sweet and final hour
Truth and justice will be done
Robin: Like a baby when it is sleeping
In it's mother's loving arms
What a newborn baby dreams is a mystery (a mystery)
John: But this life will find a purpose
And in time we'll understand
When the river meets the sea
When the river meets the almighty sea
