Only Our Rivers Run Free Lyrics

Only Our Rivers Run Free lyrics

were apples still grow in november
where blossoms still bloom from each
tree
where leaves are still green in november
its then that our land will
be free
i wander her hills and her valleys
and still through my sorrows i
see
a land that has never known freedom
and only her rivers run
free

i drink to the death of her manhood
those men who rather have
died
than to live in the cold chains of bondage
to bring back there
rights were denied
oh were are u now when we need u
what burns were the
flame used to be
are u gone like the snow of last winter
and will  only
our rivers run free

how sweet is the life but we're crying
how mellow
the wine but its dry
how fragrent the rose but its dying
how gentle the
breeze but it sighs
what good is in youth when its aging
what joy is in
eyes that cant see
when theres sorrow in sunshine and flowers
and still
only our rivers run free
