EMELINE MICHEL - Many Rivers To Cross lyrics

rate me

<br>

<i>[originally performed by Jimmy Cliff]</i><br />

<br />

Many rivers to cross<br />

But I can't seem to find my way over<br />

Knowing I am lost<br />

As I travel along the white cliffs of dover<br />

<br />

Yes, I got many rivers to cross<br />

And it's only my will that keeps me alive<br />

I've been licked, washed up for years<br />

And I merely survive because of my pride<br />

<br />

And this loneliness won't leave me alone<br />

It's such a drag to be on your own<br />

Lovers left me, I don't know why<br />

So I guess I'm gonna have to cry (oh, God, help me!)<br />

<br />

So many rivers to cross, but...<br />

But just where do I begin I'm playing for time<br />

There have been times I find myself<br />

Thinking of committing some dreadful crime<br />

<br />

There are many rivers to cross<br />

There are many many many many many many many rivers<br />

But I got to... I have to... I must... (oh, God, help me!)<br />

I got to find my way away
