[Intro: Ancient River Flowing, Night Crickets + Frogs + Rain Drip, Solo Banjo dripping + Cello weeping]

[Verse 1: Male Baritone Southern Drawl - preacher, banjo + cello + river]
I woke up this mornin' with a question on my mind
Where do all the teardrops go when we cry?
Mama said they dry up, but mama never knew
There's a place few folks know, where they all flow through

[Verse 2: Female Southern Soprano Appalachian lilt, violins + banjo]
There's a river in the swamp, not on any map they drew
It started at the beginnin' of time, when the first tear fell for you
White lilies watch it weepin', black water deep and wide
Holds every heartache ever cried

[Pre-Chorus: Duet close harmony, violas swell, harp like tears]
Ooh... not one lost
Every sorrow... counted cost

[Chorus: Full Duet + Choir Souls, Full Orchestra + French Horns]
This is the River of Tears (river of tears)
Flows with all the tears from the beginnin' of time
Not one lost, not one forgotten, every drop it holds in line
Every heartache, every pain, every loss you ever knew
Every tear you ever cried, baby, flows to you know who
It remembers, it remembers, down in the River of Tears

[Verse 3: REVELATION - The Fixed Line - Female then Male, banjo dripping + harp]
Waters from Genesis, still here just recyclin'
From Eden's river to your eyes, same water never dyin'
Behemoth drank it at Creation, Jobe saw it in his day
Now it's in the tear you cried last night, flowin' away

[Verse 4: Male deep, personal, timpani distant]
I took my tears down there, to that midnight shore
Saw your name in the water, from nineteen eighty four
And every tear you cried for me, floatin' on a lily leaf
White flowers carryin' sorrow, black water carryin' grief

[Bridge: Scripture - Female High, Male Low Harmony, Full Strings Crescendo]
If you think your tears are wasted, sinkin' in the ground
Thou putteth my tears in thy bottle, are they not in thy book?
Every drop is holy, where every pain is true
Where the river keeps cryin'... for me and you

[Final Chorus: Grand - Duet, Choir of Ages, Orchestra Climax, Banjo dripping time]
Oh, River of Tears (river of tears)
From the beginnin' of time (beginnin' of time)
Not one lost, not one wasted, every teardrop so divine
Every heartache, every pain, every loss, every fear
Every tear you ever cried, is still alive right here
It remembers your name, baby, down in the River of Tears
Down in the River of Tears

[Outro: River flow fade, Crickets + Frogs + Rain + Breeze, Banjo harmonic + Violin harmonic like tears meeting, White lilies floating downstream into eternity]
Male whisper: Not one lost...
Female hum fades like mist over water
[End on single harp tear drop + river flow]
