I was sitting by a river when the thought occurred to me
There are a hundred thousand rivers that we never even see
They are the boundaries of all we know of truth and right and wrong
And I have written some examples for you here within my song
Some are bridged and some are forded, some are swollen from the rains
Some are the ultimate result of all our joy and all our pains
But when the rivers in your life are full and starting to wash down
You've got to drink up the river before you drown

Chorus: You've got to drink up the river,
You've got to drink up the river,
You've got to drink up the river before you drown
You've got to drink up the river,
You've got to drink up the river,
You've got to drink up the river before you drown!

And through our nation's history, her times of peace and war
An overwhelming wave of misery has washed up on our shore
They did not ask for any fortune, just a corner and a plate
And how they shone with pride and honor as they made our country great
But migrants now are deportees, and more are turned away
We've forgotten it's the immigrants who made our fame today
Our salvation is that flood: white, yellow, red,

  • Bamboo Wind
    "I am in a vast black sea, the spaces reach in front of me
    As far as I could ever see, as far again behind.
    And each new world I land upon, with seas and hills and storm and
    dawn,..."
  • Barbie Cues
    "Somebody's barbie is a vaporous cloud
    One of the barbies of a very freaky crowd
    Someone's prize hibachi will never cook again
    It's impossible to charbroil on a small metallic stain..."
  • Basilisk
    "She searched for a Basilisk all through the seasons
    She hunted him down but for all the wrong reasons
    She'd thought up a plan that she felt was quite clever
    A way her great beauty could live on forever..."
  • Behold
    "As in the tribal ritual passed down from ancient days
    Take all your newborn children out beyond the city blaze
    And raise your children overhead to sable skies above
    The sable field of distant space, afire with every star..."
  • Between Grass Shores
    "Tides of mountains crash on the shores of grain
    And in this city of ash I tremble in my private pain
    Will the winds of time blow my heart to me
    Or will I wander forever between grass shores and mountain sea..."
  • Bhigg House
    "These are the steps that Ruth built
    Loving kindness in each nail
    Planks that never trip the feet
    Lead you from the shady street..."
  • Box
    "I am in a box.
    I am locked inside.
    Someone owns the locks.
    Nowhere left to hide...."
  • Boy Genius
    "Boy genius with the big sad eyes
    All of the mamas want to take you home
    Get what you can, do what you must, be what you have to be
    And take that weary highway out alone...."
