In the Middle of the River



In the Middle of the River is a deleted song from Pocahontas.

Lyrics

 * POCAHONTAS:
 * When the land is full of anger
 * When the fists of hate are shook
 * When there is no common ground to be found
 * Where to look


 * JOHN SMITH:
 * We will meet in the middle of the river
 * We will hide in the heart of a cloud
 * If that's the place where we can be together
 * We'll be there somehow


 * I would sail to the sources of the ocean
 * I would climb to the foot of the stars
 * If that's what it takes for us to be together
 * We will live in the middle of the river


 * POCAHONTAS & (JOHN SMITH):
 * In your eyes is a promise I believe in
 * In your smile is the path to my heart
 * In this life we will be together even
 * If we live in the middle of the river
 * (Middle of the river)


 * BOTH:
 * And now, seeing the love in your eyes, it will carry me through
 * The power of all the storms in the skies couldn't shake me
 * Or tear me or take me from you
 * Not from you


 * I don't know what they hate so much about you
 * I don't know what they cannot forgive
 * All I know is I couldn't live without you
 * Though we live in the middle of the river


 * And now, now that I know what it's worth
 * To have you in my heart
 * I'll scour every last inch of the earth
 * For a place where they won't try to break us apart


 * And if the only time for us is never
 * If there's nowhere with shelter to give
 * We will go where the wild winds make the weather
 * To the edges of forever
 * But we will be together
 * If we live in the middle of the river


 * POCAHONTAS & (JOHN SMITH):
 * If there is no land for us, where can we look?
 * (In the middle of the river)
