over the river

hush, hush, hush, i heard a sound come from the ground, all of the trees are a buzz, talking in tongues, talking with lungs, talking of freedom, all of the earth is soon to give birth, look at the mountains alive, birds and the bees, insects and leaves, all of us longing, longing for home, home, home is somewhere i've never known, over the river, over the river, i've set my hope, over the river, over the river, i'll find my hope in you, you, death, where is your sting?, your signet ring?, where is your power?, why all this war?, death to the score, nations are fading, kingdom of light, setting us right, finally human, give me a tongue, it will be done, inside i'm longing, longing for love, love, love is something i've never known
