He walked alone up the rocky road,
To find the place, to read the stone,
And bring the word back, from the top of the mountain,
Where it would be;
The lightning struck, and the thunder roared,
As he lifted it up,
In the name of the Lord,
And many waited for the new revelation,
They are ready to go, they're going home;
And the rivers of Abraham are running free,
With the dawn of a waking man, and destiny,
To the garden of Eden, and Paradise,
We will never be broken, and we will never die;
We cross the bridge to the silver bird,
And say goodbye to the ones that we love,
No skies or oceans in the place we are going,
Like seeds on the wind;
The time has come, we shut the door,
We are ready to go, in the name of the Lord,
A world is waiting for a new destination,
We are ready to go, we're going home;
And the rivers of Abraham are running free,
With the dawn of a waking man, and destiny,
To the garden of Eden and Paradise,
We will never be broken and we will never die;
And the rivers of Abraham are running free,
With the dawn of a waking man, and destiny,
To the garden of Eden and Paradise,
We will never be broken, we will never die;
And the rivers of Abraham are running free,
With the dawn of a waking man, and destiny,
To the garden of Eden and Paradise,
We will never be broken and we will never die.
"It was about the prophet Moses going up to see the ten commandments. And he was told then to go and spread the seed of himself and his followers around the world to spread the word of God. And the second part very much refers to what is going to be happening in the future when perhaps we come to a point when our world can no longer sustain life as we know it, and people will have to leave and then emigrate to other planets. And it's the scene on a spaceship about to leave. And the rivers of Abraham will carry the seed of future generations to the next place where they can grow and live."
