Run Like the River

One hopeful road That my mama showed to me From the moment I first stand and I didn't know Back there and then she released me free From that patched up shackle down my pa was handed She said, "Tyrone Go be the king you're meant to be Like a stone, roll on your mission" "Hurry now, son 'Cause there are songs need to be sung And you're the one to reach the heart and it will listen" Mother said, "Run, baby, run Go ahead, run, baby, run" Mother said, "Run, baby, run" Run like the river As wheels do turn Is how I go, you all sure should know, as flames do burn, I am ignited Towards the wind, through squinted eyes I look ahead 'Cause in the end the road behind me long been ridin' Mother said, "Run, baby, run Go ahead, run, baby, run" Mother said, "Run, baby, run" "Run like the river" "Run like the river" Mother said, "Run, baby, run Go ahead, run, baby, run" Mother said, "Run, baby, run" "Run like the river, run like the river" "Run like the river, run like the river" Run, baby, run, (run, baby, run) Oh, run, baby, run (run, baby, run) Oh, run, baby, run (run baby, run) Run like the river Mother said, "Run baby, run" Run, baby, run, baby, run Run, baby, run Mother said, "Run, baby, run" "Run like the river" "Run like the river" Run baby, run Mama said, "Run, baby, run" Hopeful road that my mama showed to me Run baby, run Run like the river, run like the river Run like the river, run like the river The river
