O healing river

 

O healing river, send down your waters,

send down your waters upon this land.

O healing river, send down your waters,

and wash the blood from off the sand.

 

This land is parching, this land is burning,

no seed is growing in the barren ground.

O healing river, send down your waters,

o healing river, send your waters down.

 

Let the seed of freedom awake and flourish,

let the deep roots nourish, let the tall stalks rise.

O healing river, send down your waters,

o healing river, from out of the skies.
