In Every Corner Sing ‎#89

89. O healing river

1 O healing river, send down your waters,
send down your waters upon the land.
O healing river, send down your waters,
none is growing upon the land.
O healing, O healing river, send down your waters,
wash the blood from off the sand, from off the sand.

2 This land is parching, this land is burning,
no seed is growing, seed is growing upon this land.
O healing, O healing river, send down your waters,
none is growing upon this land.
O healing river, send down your waters,
send your waters down, down, send your waters down.

3 Let the seed of freedom awake and flourish.
Let the deep roots nourish, let the tall stalks rise on this land.
O healing, O healing river, send down your waters;
healing river from the skies, from out the skies.
