(written and originally performed by Carly Simon:

Let the river run!

Let all the dreamers

Wake the nation.

Come — the new jerusalem

Silver cities rise!

The morning lights

The streets that meet them,

And sirens call them on

With a song.

(Bridge)

It’s asking for the taking.

Trembling, shaking.

Oh, my heart is aching.

We’re coming to the edge,

Running on the water,

Coming through the fog,

Your sons and daughters.

We — the great and small —

Stand on a star

And blaze a trail of desire

Through the dark’ning dawn.

Let the river run,

Let all the dreamers

Wake the nation.

Come — the new jerusalem.
