"The Holy River" is a song by American musician Prince (his stage name at that time being an unpronounceable symbol, see cover art), released in January 1997 by NPG/EMI as the second single from his nineteenth album, Emancipation (1996). The pop/rock-based song tells the story of spiritual enlightenment and of Prince's decision to marry Mayte Garcia. A music video was also produced to promote the single.
