Company of Fools - The River Lyrics

The rich man and the poor man hand in hand
With the crooked and the crippled and the lame
The tired and disappointed, the hopeful and assured
Beneath the skin our hearts are shaped the same

Some may dress in satin or in silk
Some naked as the day when they were born
The masterful & mighty, the humble and the meek
Come together seeking shelter from the storm

And we'll all go down to the river tonight
And sing to a beautiful tune
We will watch our dreams they sail into sight
And we'll dance by the light of the moon
And we'll dance by the light of the moon

Some come with superstition or with faith
Some with the doubts they never can lay down
The reckless and the righteous, the fearful and the strong
Walking step by step on common ground

And we'll all go down to the river tonight
And sing to a beautiful tune
We will watch our dreams they sail into sight
And we'll dance by the light of the moon
And we'll dance by the light of the moon

The poets and the prophets who swim against the tide
The lives in the balance all the time
The artists and the dreamers, the mad and starry eyed
The fragile hearts caught in the firing line

We'll all go down to the river tonight
And sing to a beautiful tune
We will watch our dreams they sail into sight
And we'll dance by the light of the moon

And we'll all go down to the river tonight
And sing to a beautiful tune
We will watch our dreams they sail into sight
And we'll dance by the light of the moon
And we'll all go down to the river tonight
And sing to a beautiful tune
We will watch our dreams they sail into sight
And we'll dance by the light of the moon
Dance by the light, the light of the moon
