lyrics

Roll Like a River
Music and Lyrics by Michael Hunter Ochs

The times have found us for a moment such as this 
To pray with our feet and not just with our lips 
It falls to each of us to shed a little light
And to listen that quiet voice of truth deep down inside 

Tzedek tzedek tirdof 
Tzedek tzedek tirdof 
Tzedek tzedek tirdof  
For all god's children

Let justice roll like a river roll on like a river 
And righteousness a never ending stream
Let justice roll like a river roll on like a river
And righteousness a never ending stream

There’s how the world is and there's how it oughta be
We rise and fall upon the tides of hate and bigotry
We may not heal the hurt in the balance of our days
But are we free to simply turn and walk the other way?

Tzedek tzedek tirdof 
Tzedek tzedek tirdof 
Tzedek tzedek tirdof  
For all god's children

Let justice roll like a river roll on like a river 
And righteousness a never ending stream
Let justice roll like a river roll on like a river
And righteousness a never ending stream

Hallelujah…..hallelujah…hallelujah

And we will sail on that river my brother my sister
Til’ we reach the shore where all are delivered
Tomorrow's today and today is the time
‘Cuz justice delayed is justice denied

Let justice roll like a river roll on like a river 
And righteousness a never ending stream
Let justice roll like a river roll on like a river
And righteousness a never ending stream

Hallelujah…..hallelujah…hallelujah

The times have found us for a moment such as this
