The river bends again Oh the river bends again The mountains fall away As it boils to the sea Oh the river bends again And the eagle has no friend Yeah the eagle has no friend She sits all alone As the sky turns to gold Oh the eagle has no friend And the old canyon wren Oh the old canyon wren She brings her song To the breaking of dawn Oh the old canyon wren And the people bow and pray Oh the people bow and pray To the gods of old And the gods of today Oh the people bow and pray ♪ And will it ever end Oh may it never end When the rivers run dry Won't the mountains cry And the river will bend again Oh the salty tears will bend Oh the salty tears will bend The mountains will fall away As it boils to the sea And the river will bend again Oh the river will bend again
