Denise Gardiner – Prayer For The Peace lyrics

VERSE I:
The earth shed a tear
It spilled far and near,
Cradled by the mountains 'neath the sky.
Sisters tumbling down,
Blessed by the sun,
Joining their hearts to flow as one.
And she grew strong and mighty;
A torrent fast and wide,
Loving all the Beings by her side.

CHORUS:
She is the Mother, the shore, her child.
She is the Keeper of all things wild.
This is our prayer, O Lord, we cry:
Please save the River for you and I.

Verse II:
But the long arm of Progress
Cast an eye on her fame,
Drawn by her beauty and her name.
They harnessed her power,
They put her in chains,
All for the endless greed of man.
She fought and she roared
But her cries were in vain,
Her Valley would never be the same.

CHORUS;
She is the Mother, the shore, her child.
She is the Keeper of all things wild.
This is our prayer, O Lord, we cry:
Please save the River for you and I.

BRIDGE:
And she lies there weakened
Near an uncertain shore,
Her heart dreams of flowing wide and free.
But the Rulers of Darkness
In their shadowed plans,
Have sworn they will never let her be.

CHORUS;
She is the Mother, the shore, her child.
She is the Keeper of all things wild.
This is our prayer, O Lord, we cry:
Please save the River for you and I.

CHORUS;
She is the Mother, the shore, her child.
She is the Keeper of all things wild.
This is our prayer, O Lord, we cry:
Please save the River, dear Lord,
Please save the River
For you and I.
