IN THE MIDDLE OF THE RIVER


[ Pocahontas ]
When the land is full of anger 
When the fists of hate are shook 
When there is no common ground 
To be found where to look?

[ John Smith ] 
We will meet in the middle of the river 
We will hide in the heart of the cloud 
If that's the place where we can be together 
We'll be there somehow

I would sail to the sources of the ocean 
I would climb to the foot of the stars 
If that's what it takes for us to be together 
We will live in the middle of the river

[ Pocahontas ]
In your eyes is a promise I believe in 
In your smile is the path to my heart 
In this life we will be together even 
If we live in the middle of the river

[ John Smith ] 
In the middle of the river

And now seeing the love in your eyes 
It will carry me through

[ Both ] 
The power of all the storms in the skies 
Couldn't shake me, or tear me, or take me from you 
Not from you

I don't know what they hate so much about you 
I don't know what they cannot forgive 
All I know is I couldn't live without you 
Though we live in the middle of the river

And now, now that I know what it's worth 
To have you in my heart 
I'll scour every last inch of the earth 
For a place where they won't try to break us apart

And if the only time for us is never 
If there's nowhere with shelter to give 
We will go where the wild winds make the weather 
To the edges of forever 
But we will be together 
If we live in the middle of the river

[ Pocahontas ]
If there is no land for us 
Where can we look?

[ John Smith ] 
In the middle of the river
