Jason Upton - Great River Road lyrics

I was born where the rivers run

Native blood runs through my veins

I was born where the eagles come

Waiting till the winter fades

I was born an endangered son

I was spared by a mother's dream

I was saved by the power of love

I was snatched from the fire of greed

Great river road where justice rolled

Let it roll, let it roll down

Great river road where healing flowed

Let it flow, let it flow now

I was born to an orphaned son

I was seed from a broken life

I was just like the other ones

Waiting on the other side

I was born because freedom won

Mother sent me down the stream

I was saved by the power of love

I was snatched from the fire of greed
