By The River Piedra I Sat Down And Wept: The Song

A beautiful song inspired by one of Paulo Coelho’s great novel of the same title.

I simply love it! Enjoy!

Here’s the lyrics:

By the River Piedra I sat down and wept
And mourned for a Beauty that I hadn’t met
And I prayed to a God that I wasn’t sure heard
And I asked for the patience to keep waiting for Her
It’s been such a long road
But she’s worth fighting for
‘Til the battles have all been won
She’s worth all the pain
That’s been racing through my blood
She’s worth every tear
That’s been teaching me to live
And she’s worth all the love
That my Sacred heart can give
She’s worth fighting for

By the River Piedra I dreamed for awhile
I saw a Vision of Beauty with a mysterious smile
So I asked for Her name as She was fading away
She said I’m “One Day, But Not Yet”, but it will all be worth the wait
And she’s worth fighting for
‘Til the battles have all been won
She’s worth all the pain
That’s been racing through my blood
She’s worth every tear
That’s been teaching me to live
And she’s worth all the love
That my Sacred heart can give
She’s worth fighting for
