Wide Is the River

Oh, I've wasted all my days

For they float away like a river

Tumbling down the falls to bay

And oh I try, I try to change my ways

But they're here to stay, as I quiver

Stumbling through the dark, 'til day

Then that voice inside my head

I wake up in a motel bed, and sing

Wide is the river we swim across

High is the mountain of pain and loss

Strong is the wind that blows so cold

Long is the story yet to be told

Oh, how I wish that I could stay

But I roll away through the rapids

Rumbling down the falls to bay

And oh, to live or die is all but fate

Send me on down the River Delta

Sink me in my resting place

Then that voice inside my head

I wake up and sing

Wide is the river we swim across

High is the mountain of pain and loss

Strong is the wind that blows so cold

Long is the story yet to be told

Wide is the river we swim across

High is the mountain of pain and loss

Strong is the wind that blows so cold

Long is the story yet to be told

Alright now!
