Lyrics The Continuance - US - Jonathan Elias
The
American
river
lives
inside
our
souls...
It
spills
onto
the
soil
we
touch,
And
it
spreads
it's
wisdom
to
those
within
reach.
The
struggle
to
remain
pure
is
clouded
by
fear
and
deceit.
Alone
on
it's
journey,
through
freedom,
Travelling
fast
against
rocky
Ideas,
to
questions
we
ask
in
silence...
And
the
answers
live
in
peace...
The
river's
life,
it
runs
through
the
American
spirit...
My
ancestors
on
my
father's
side
came
to
America
in
the
middle
of
the
Seventeenth
century.
The
original
Cash
was
a
mariner
named
William,
From
County
Fife
in
Scotland,
Who
sailed
across
the
Atlantic
and
settled
in
Salem
Massachusetts.
His
sons
and
daughters,
And
grandchildren
and
great-grandchildren,
Spread
south
to
Virginia
and
Georgia
and
Arkansas...
They
never
went
farther
west
than
the
Mississippi
Delta.
They
were
sailors
who
became
southern
farmers,
But
no
musicians
appeared
until
my
Dad,
J.R.
Cash
was
born
in
1932.
Now
in
the
twenty-first
century,
The
sailors
and
farmers
have
disappeared,
but
musicians,
Singers
and
song
writers
are
Spilling
down
through
the
modern
generations.
I
am
part
of
the
river
of
souls
who
make
up
the
sliver
of
America
That
belongs
to
mariners
and
musicians,
Those
who
love
the
sea
and
those
who'll
make
music.
The
ocean
and
the
soil,
The
body
and
the
soul...
the
words
and
the
music.
I
am
at
the
congruence
of
sea
and
dirt,
and
it
becomes
a
song.
I
am
from
a
long
line
of
American
Without
illusions.
We
became
who
we
were.
The
river
I
sail
is
one
of
longing
for
what
I
Already
have,
and
ache
to
be
who
I
already
am.
American
without
illusions...
A
member
of
the
world...
captain
of
melody...
sower
of
words.
The
river
and
the
ocean
are
closing
tight.
