There are voices in the mirror Faces at the door That open on the rivers We've never seen before Are there choices for the sparrow Or does he only fly High above the rivers That are pulling you and I Oh, there are strange rivers Rivers that we cannot see There are strange rivers Who know our destiny There are strange rivers Who brought your love to me... He could have been a builder He could have been the one Who turned his dreams to steel Cathedrals in the sun He could have been a builder Until he bought the gun There are forces in that river That keep him on the run Oh, there are strange rivers Rivers that we cannot see There are strange rivers Who know our destiny There are strange rivers Who brought your love to me... Have you ever turned the corner And wondered why you did? You haven't been that way Since you were just a kid Nothing really happens And then you have to say You wonder what would happen Had you gone the other way Oh, there are strange rivers Rivers that we cannot see There are strange rivers Who know our destiny There are strange rivers Who brought your love to me... There are strange rivers There are strange rivers There are strange rivers...
