[Danny Glover - over singing] When your hero falls from grace, all fairy tales are uncovered Myth exposed and pain magnified, the greatest pain uncovered You taught me to be strong, but I'm confused to see you so weak. You say never to give up, and it hurts to see you welcome defeat. When your hero falls so do the stars, and so does the pereception of tomorrow Without my hero, theres only me alone, to deal with my sorrow Your heart ceases to work, and your soul is not happy at all What are you expected to do, when your only hero falls [Afeni Shakur - over singing] As long as some suffer, the river flows forever As long as there is pain, the river flows forever As strong as a smile can be, the river will flow forever And as long as you are with me, we'll ride the river together.. ..And as long as you are with me, we'll ride the river together [singing - over chanting] We'll ride.. the river together, as long as.. you are with me The river.. will flow forever, as long as.. you are with me The river.. will flow forever, as long as.. you are with me
