By The Rio Grande Lyrics - Singles - Tish Hinojosa

Every river searches for the sea 

Every life runs it's own destiny 

Canyons white and wild stretches calm and mild 

Cutting through the stones of history 

Rio Grande runs south to Mexico 

From the highway I have touched its shores 

Reynosa to Sante Fe and back the other way 

I've had my life planned by the Rio Grande 

An unbroken chain snow and tears and rain 

Cutting through my soul and to my veins 

Then the waters rise paint the Rocky Mountain skies 

One more circle around the world again 

One more year rolls down the Rio Grande 

Our forefathers crossed the muddy line 

Pilgrims passing leaving tracks in time 

One more takes a stand by the water by the land 

Shifting like the sand by the Rio Grande 

An unbroken chain snow and tears and rain 

Cutting through my soul and to my veins 

Then the waters rise paint the Rocky Mountain skies 

One more circle around the world again 

One more year rolls down the Rio Grande 

One more circle around the world again 

One more year rolls down the Rio Grande
