Waiting on an elevator, in a hotel out in CaliforniaSmog clouds up in the windows, but there is a plaque up on the wallThat tells of the Agoras, people who were here long before usBefore the covered wagons, before they lost it allThey were hunters, they were fishermen und they often fought each otherBut one small tribe was different, their leader was a peaceful manThey were weavers, they were painters, trading pelts for pretty coloursProtected by the warriors for the beauty in their handsRoll back the years, roll back the years, to the river of tearsThe chief he had a daughter, she was young and she was beautifulHe said, Go into the forest, get some berries for the dyeBut make your way back quickly, for the old bear's getting hungryI don't want you out there, when the sun falls from the skyHer basket filled with berries, she headed back toward the villageWhen a mighty roar erupted, she ran und hid inside a hollow treeShadows were getting longer, the forest was getting colderAnd the chief began to panic, where could his daughter be?Lost in the years, lost in the years, on the river of tearsIn the camp the fires were dying when the old chief started cryingSoon all the tribe were crying, the ground grew wet beneath their feetAnd the tears they turned to water and the water became a riverAnd the river flowed like an arrow, to the foot of a hollow treeAnd the girl looked out in wonder, as she saw the water fallingShe knew it was her father and she swam to his canoeAnd all the tribe stopped crying, and the river started subsidingInto the hill of the Agoras, and so the legend grewRoll back the years, roll back the yearsRoll back the years, to the river of tearsI wish all the world was healing
