The River Lyrics - Innocent Victim - Uriah Heep

River, rising to hide 

Across the midnight 

Wanderin' westward by daylight 

Take us and lead us to tomorrow 

As fast as you come and can flow 

River, you're windin' 

An unending rhythm 

The sooner keep 

Movin' to warn him 

The spirit that keeps 

Us from sinking 

Guide us from going astray 

Point us a way 

To a shoreline ahead 

Through the mist and the fog 

Of this valley of death 

Too many years we have 

Walked in a sleep 

Now we're awaken and ready fo flee 

River, we hitchhikers 

Beggin' for mercy 

Survive us from yesterday's curses 

Don't damn us 

Before you receive us 

We're needin' your face 

And your trust
