Lyrics
watch the river as it flows
rolls and tumbles over every stone
see the colors that it holds
as voices whisper "you are not alone"
feel the engines of eternity
shake and rattle down into your bones
as you stare into her crystal water
feeling like a fish that's never flown
endless waves of healing
leave your senses reeling
what you're feeling now is
joy, joy, joy, joy, joy....
sitting on the banks of the illinois
listen to her song
it echoes, echoes, echoes in your mind
see how she gives sight
to the one who did not know
that she was blind
as you gaze upon her beauty now
know that what you seek is what you find
call her what you will....
but know that she can never be defined
endless waves of healing
leave your senses reeling
what you're feeling now is
joy, joy, joy, joy, joy....
sitting on the banks of the illinois.
