“The River Within” by MA Shalom is a soul-awakening anthem that calls listeners back to their inner source — the Divine presence that flows freely within every being. Blending spiritual insight with poetic storytelling, the song challenges systems of control and illusion that separate people from their innate connection to God, truth, and self.
The lyrics use the metaphor of a river — once pure and accessible, later claimed and commodified — to reveal how humanity has been led away from the simplicity of divine truth. Shalom weaves biblical reference (Hebrews 8:10) with universal spiritual wisdom, reminding listeners that the laws of the Divine are already written on the heart.
The tone is reflective yet empowering, guiding the listener from questioning and disillusionment to self-realization. The recurring hook becomes both mantra and awakening: “What you seek was never lost, it’s inside of you.”
