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 its 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
