Where the Rivers Run (Two Names for One Love)

Verse 1

Sarajevo morning

Two cups on the table

One from her grandmother's town

One from his mother's village

She's Catholic on Sunday

He's Muslim at the mosque

Same street

Same dreams

Same bread on the table

Pre-Chorus

But the neighbours start to whisper

And the cousins start to shout

Your love is not our love

What is this all about

Chorus

Multicultural love

Multicultural love

In the land where the rivers run

Multicultural love

Multicultural love

Where the heart is not the only thing that's undone

Verse 2

He learned her mother's recipes

She learned his father's songs

Two families

One courtyard

Two hundred years of wrongs

The war is written on the walls

But the paint is fresh and new

They raise a child with two names

And both of them are true

Pre-Chorus

But the uncles start to argue

And the aunts begin to cry

Your love is not our love

Why oh why oh why

Chorus

Multicultural love

Multicultural love

In the land where the rivers run

Multicultural love

Multicultural love

Where the heart is not the only thing that's undone

Bridge

He stands at the border

She stands at the gate

The soldiers don't ask questions

They just decide your fate

Two flags

Two faiths

One kiss

One grave

Verse 3

The world says love is simple

Just follow your own heart

But here love has a postal code

And maps can tear apart

They buried him in April

She visits every spring

The grave has two inscriptions

And the birds still sing

Pre-Chorus

And the tourists take their pictures

And the guides recite the past

Two lovers in the history

One story that didn't last

Chorus

Multicultural love

Multicultural love

In the land where the rivers run

Multicultural love

Multicultural love

Where the heart is not the only thing that's undone

Post-Chorus

Oh oh oh oh

Oh oh oh oh

Oh oh oh oh oh

Oh oh oh oh

Breakdown

Tell me

Tell me

Tell me what you know

About love

About love

That doesn't get to grow

Chorus

Multicultural love

Multicultural love

In the land where the rivers run

Multicultural love

Multicultural love

Where the heart is not the only thing that's undone

Outro

Multicultural love

Oh

Multicultural love

Oh

Multicultural love

Oh

Yeah
