American River Lyrics - Idina Menzel

Some people seek adventure 

Some people long for rest 

Still others search for wisdom 

When our Land's put to the test 

Tears of challenge, joy, and love 

The river knows them well 

And no matter what we're dreaming of 

The river takes us in its spell 

With timeless tales to tell 

What tales to tell

I've got a wish tonight 

I've got a hope for us to share 

And as those rivers flow 

I dream of being with you where 

We can finally be 

One nation truly free 

Flowing the river 

Flowing like the many rivers 

Flowing like the many rivers 

To one sea 

One sea 

Some rivers will run slowly 

Some race to reach the end 

The course straight as an arrow 

Or it snakes from bend to bend 

Through long nights, through golden days 

The river journeys on 

In a winter chill or summer haze 

The river bids our cares be gone 

There's safe harbor come the dawn 

Let's breathe the dawn 

And I've got a wish tonight 

I've got a hope for us to share 

And as those rivers flow 

I dream of being with you where 

We can finally be 

One nation truly free 

Flowing the river 

Flowing like the many rivers 

Flowing like the many rivers 

To one sea 

Like ribbons through the land 

They connects us to each other 

When we seek to understand 

The river comforts like a mother 

And along the river's shore 

We all become part of the story 

Oh, I've got a wish tonight (I've got a wish) 

I've got a hope for us to share 

And as those rivers flow 

I dream of being with you where 

We can finally be 

One nation truly free 

Flowing the river 

Flowing like the many rivers 

Flowing like the many rivers 

To one sea 

(The river tells a story) 

(Of a people and a land)
