In Memory of my father-in-law Frank Russo a "Healing River" painting by
Julie Russo

Healing River

O healing river, send down your waters,
Send down your waters upon this land.
O healing river, send down your waters,
And wash the blood from off the sand.

This land is parching, this land is burning,
No seed is growing in the barren ground.
O healing river, send down your waters,
O healing river, send your waters down.

Let the seed of freedom, awake and flourish,
Let the deep roots nourish, let the tall stalks rise,
O healing river, send down your waters,
O healing river, from out of the skies.
