Lyrics

AT THE END OF THE RIVER Richard Hastings

At the end of the river What will it be?
Jury’s out, standing in front of me
At the end of the river What will I say?
I don’t think I’ll know till that final day

Living life on this merry-go-round
Keeping it moving, never slow down
Not enough time to even wonder why
You come to the river in the blink of an eye

You’ll come down from the mountain
You’ll come down to the clear
You’ll come down from the city
With the chatter that you hear
You’ll come over the horizon to the bottom of the hill
You’ll come down to the river like the water will

At the end of the river What will it be?
Jury’s out, standing in front of me
At the end of the river What will I say?
I don’t think I’ll know till that final day


As you lose all your tomorrows
And say goodbye to today
Will you beg for more?
Or will you give it all away?
Between two waters, as the harbor light shines
Will you beg for forgiveness or your peace of mind?





At the End of the River p. 2

Did you worry ‘bout tomorrow?
Did you stand in your own way?
Did you worry ‘bout the sorrow
in another man’s day?
Did you relent to all the fears?
That you learned so long ago?
Or did you wash them in the waters
As the river flowed

Did you come to the mountain?
Did you come to the clear?
Did you overcome the city?
Did you overcome the fear?
When you come over the horizon
To the bottom of the hill
Will you surrender to the river?
Like the water will?

At the end of the river What will it be?
Will I answer the questions inside of me?
At the end of the river What will I say?
I don’t think I’ll know till that final day

At the end of the river What will begin?
Will I be lost, Will I be home again?
At the end of the river Will I sail away?
I don’t think I’ll know till that final day
