When The River Meets The Sea

D                             D7
When the mountain touches the valley, all the
     G
clouds are taught to fly.
           D                           A           A7
So our souls will leave this land most peacefully.
            D
Though our minds be filled
                        G                 E
with questions, in our hearts, we'll understand.
          D    A         G    D
When the river meets the sea.

            D           D7                 G
Like a flower that has blossomed, in the dry and
                    D
barren sand. We are born,
                            A            D                  D7
and born again most gracefully. Thus the winds of time will take us with a
G               E              D     A         G     D    D7
sure and steady hand. When the river meets the sea.

G                          D
Patience my daughters, and patience my sons.
          E                               A
In that sweet and final hour, truth and justice will be done!

D                       D7              G                            D
Like a baby when it is sleeping in its loving mother's arms. What a new born
                 A       A7       D
baby dreams is a mystery. But his life will find a purpose, and in
G                 E              D     A         G D D A
time, he'll understand. When the river meets the sea.  When the river meets
    G  D  A    G D
the almighty sea.
