Silently flows the river
Held by the banks
Reaching out to the sea
Through lush green lands.

Giving what it gathers
From streams and rains.
It meanders through
forests and farms.

It shimmers and shines
In a starlit sky.
Exuberant in its fall,
From the rocky high.

Silently flows the river
As people sing hymns
Giving off life and
Fulfilling their dreams
