Dm
High above the forest in an unseen place
Am7 Dm Am7
Where the clouds will gather on another race
Dm
In the dungeon depths of an unknown cave
Am7 C Dm C Dm C Dm Am7 C Dm
There&rsquo s a stream that springs with a world to save
Dm
And it gathers up strength as it rolls along
Am7 Dm Am
And it gathers up hope for everyone
Dm
But it runs to plains where the farmlands weep
Am7 C Dm C Dm C Dm Am7 C Dm
Through the brand new gardens where rich men sleep
Dm C
I&rsquo m gonna find it, I&rsquo m gonna prove it
Dm C
And show the whole damned world how to use it
Dm C
When I find it, when I prove it
Dm C
I know that some damned fool is gonna lose it
F Bb F C F Bb C F
For it&rsquo s the river of hope, from the pool of tears
Bb F C F Bb C Dm C Dm
It&rsquo s the river of hope, it&rsquo s the river we lost for years
Dm
Past the chemical plant where the junk flows in
Am7 Dm Am7
By the nuclear project where the children swim
Dm
Under bridges in a city where the bodies float
Am7 C Dm C Dm C Dm Am7 C Dm
And the summer smell keeps the flies remote
Dm C
I&rsquo m gonna find it, I&rsquo m gonna prove it
Dm C
And show the whole damned world how to use it
Dm C
When I find it, when I prove it
Dm C
I know that some damned fool is gonna lose it
F Bb F C F Bb C F
For it&rsquo s the river of hope, from the pool of tears
Bb F C F Bb C Dm C Dm
It&rsquo s the river of hope, it&rsquo s the river we lost for years

Dm
Through the swamp of a ghetto where the mission was lost
Am7 Dm Am7
Where the dope is king and the silver boss
Dm
Past the trash and wreckage from the garbage trucks
Am7 C Dm C Dm C Dm Am7 C Dm
Past the oil slick where the jail boat docks
Dm
To a home in some sea at the nations end
Am7 Dm Am7
Where the submarine is freedom&rsquo s friend
Dm
If we need that river like we did before
C Dm C Dm C Dm Am7 C Dm
There can be no need for it lives no more
Dm C
I&rsquo m gonna find it, I&rsquo m gonna prove it
Dm C
And show the whole damned world how to use it
Dm C
When I find it, when I prove it
Dm C
I know that some damned fool is gonna lose it
F Bb F C F Bb C F
For it&rsquo s the river of hope, from the pool of tears
Bb F C F Bb C Dm C Dm
It&rsquo s the river of hope, it&rsquo s the river we lost for years
F Bb F C F Bb C F
For it&rsquo s the river of hope, from the pool of tears
Bb F C F Bb C Dm C Dm
It&rsquo s the river of hope, it&rsquo s the river we lost for years
