Lyrics

Wide River To cross

The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

There's a sorrow in the wind

Blowing down the road I've been

I can hear it cry while shadows steal the sun

But I cannot look back now

I've come too far to turn around

And there's still a race ahead that I must run

I'm only halfway home, I've gotta journey on

To where I'll find, find the things I have lost

I've come a long long road but still I've got some miles to go

I've got a wide, a wide river to cross

I have stumbled, I have strayed

You can trace the tracks I made

All across the memories my heart recalls

But I'm still a refugee, won't you say a prayer for me?

'Cause sometimes even the strongest soldier falls

I'm only halfway home, I've gotta journey on

To where I'll find, I'll find the things I have lost

I've come a long long road but still I've got some miles to go

I've got a wide, a wide river to cross

I'm only halfway home, I've gotta journey on

To where I'll find, I'll find the things that I have lost

I've come a long long road but still I've got some miles to go

I've got a wide, a wide river to cross

I've got a wide, a wide river to cross
