Dry Up The River

It’s time to dry up the river
That separates the black from the white
It’s time to arm ourselves with the weapon of love
In this battle we’ve been called to fight

Love is not a drug that runs out
Love is the potion that we’re all about
It’s time to dry up the river
Between the sick and the healthy
It’s time to open arms of peace
Instead of building a wall between the poor and the wealthy

Cuz one day the world is going to fade
And what will last but the love you made

The hate and the fists
The separation you won’t miss
Continents and countries
States and seas
We don’t live in a land
Meant to be separated by these
It’s time we threw love in the middle
And began to believe

That someday this land will be free
And neighbors we will be
From east coast to west coast
From the south pole to the northern most

We will walk together
And we will live together
And all the races and all the faces
Will sing together in harmony…

It’s time to dry up the river
That separates me from you

The day is gonna come
When all the colors will run
Into love in shades of you and me
Brothers and sisters, we are one
And we are free

It’s time to kiss the sand
Open your eyes, lend a hand
Spread your arms wide
Open your eyes to the skies
And remember that if we wanna fly
Love is the only direction when we die

It’s time to dry up the river
That separates black from white
Love is the only fuel
For a soul in flight

Let’s dry up this river tonight
Let’s dry up this river tonight
Let’s dry up this river that is separating
The wrong from the right

It’s time to dry up this river
That is keeping me from you
It’s time to dry up this river
Love has too much to do

Love has too much for you…
