River So Wide

Use A− / A+ to adjust text size
If we can cross at the place that devides usCross the river, the river so wideIf we can smuther the pain that's inside usdeny the demons, that wait by our sideWe can find, find the lightThe nights are filled with the light of the same moonWe share the comfort of the same starsThe days are bright with the light of the same sunThat don't matter, can't you see what we areWhat we are, what we becomeKeep out sights on the way aheadDon't look back, it won't help us nowThe storm we left so far behindSeems a dark memoryIt starts to fadeUntill we see the light, we will not be safeWe're all sink or swim in the same oceanBreak our skin and we will bleedOur minutes pass with the same motionWe face the same danger, we share the same needsAh, we're all the sameYou and meKeep our sights on the way aheadDon't look back that won't help us now'Cos upstream the river, it gets to wideSo we must build that bridgeRight here, 'cos if we wait we will not reach the other sideYou see under clear blue skyThe winds have changed and blowing hard and longAnd there not stop to rest 'cos the change is gonna comeOur nights are filled with the light of the same moonShare the comfort of the same starsOur days are bright with the light of the same sunThat don't matter, can't you see what we areWhat we are, what we becomeKeep our sights on the way aheadDon't look back that won't help us now'Cos upstream teh river, it gets to wideAnd if we don't build that bridge right here, right nowYou know we'll never ever reach the other side
