"Many Rivers To Cross"
[originally performed by Jimmy Cliff]
Many rivers to cross
But I can't seem to find my way over
Knowing I am lost
As I travel along the white cliffs of dover
Yes, I got many rivers to cross
And it's only my will that keeps me alive
I've been licked, washed up for years
And I merely survive because of my pride
And this loneliness won't leave me alone
It's such a drag to be on your own
Lovers left me, I don't know why
So I guess I'm gonna have to cry (oh, God, help me!)
So many rivers to cross, but...
But just where do I begin I'm playing for time
There have been times I find myself
Thinking of committing some dreadful crime
There are many rivers to cross
There are many many many many many many many rivers
But I got to... I have to... I must... (oh, God, help me!)
I got to find my way away
