River Runs Wild

Sun is rising on the emerald hills
Morning mist dancing where the river spills
Boots on the gravel and a song in the air
Everybody's smiling, got no worries to bear

The old bridge shakes when the fiddle starts to play
People coming from miles away
Laughing and spinning underneath the sky
Feeling so alive we could almost fly

The river runs wild, wild and free
Rolling through the valley like it's calling me
Can't stop the current, can't hold it down
It's dancing through the fields and the little old town

The river runs wild, wild tonight
Silver in the moon and gold in the sunlight
Raise your hands and let your spirit run
Like the river runs wild till the day is done

Children skipping stones along the shore
Grandpa tapping rhythms on the old dance floor
Every generation moving to the beat
Feel the earth rumble underneath your feet

There's a whistle in the wind and a fire in our hearts
Nobody here wants the party to stop
Round and round till the stars come out
That's what living's all about

The river runs wild, wild and free
Rolling through the valley like it's calling me
Can't stop the current, can't hold it down
It's dancing through the fields and the little old town

The river runs wild, wild tonight
Silver in the moon and gold in the sunlight
Raise your hands and let your spirit run
Like the river runs wild till the day is done

The river runs wild, wild and free
Rolling through the valley like it's calling me
Can't stop the current, can't hold it down
It's dancing through the fields and the little old town

The river runs wild, wild tonight
Silver in the moon and gold in the sunlight
Raise your hands and let your spirit run
Like the river runs wild till the day is done

Wild and free
Wild and free
The river runs wild
