[Verse 1]
There's a river of sorrow that mankind has cried
And runs like a torrent and blends with the tide
But I am not content with the peace that's prophesied
For alas I am one of the unsatisfied
[Verse 2]
Now the willow can bend and the moon she can hide
But the oak tree will stand til it breaks from its pride
And I may look unbroken but deep down inside
Alas I am one of the unsatisfied
[Chorus]
And we walk among our brothers
With a strange and faraway look in our eyes, mm-hmm
And we often play the clown and hide the fact
That something deep within us criеs, mm-hmm
Lord, some of us are poets
Somе dream until they die
'Til we're one with the spirit, we're unsatisfied
[Verse 3]
Now the north wind is my lover, he's always at my side
And the hawk's my little sister screaming at the sky
Afraid of God and naked, stripped of all our pride
'Til we're one with the spirit, we're unsatisfied
[Outro]
'Til we're one with the spirit, we're unsatisfied
