Over the River
Jon Foreman
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
