David Byrne the river

Select language to translate this lyric

I'm standing on the stage
I'm working in a restaurant
I make a decent wage- and I-
Will sing into the microphone
The river rise up
And flows above the interstate
Beyond the schools and shops- how far-
There's no way to communicate
The water's moving on
Beyond the lies and hypocrites
I'm thinking of a song
I need you to remember it
The forest is alive
It asks us to participate
We lifted up our eyes
To promise and reciprocate
We fell down on our knees
For every human being
