Lyrics

Cross That River

[Chorus]
You’ve got to cross that river (cross that river)
Cross that river (cross that river)
Cross that river (cross that river)
Yourself (yourself)
There’s no use waitin’ for a boat to take
You’ve got to cross that river yourself (You’ve got to cross that river yourself)

The river may be deep and wide
The water serves as a divide
But until you go you won’t know what it’s like on the opposite side

[Chorus]

The current may be swift and strong
And so the journey may be long
But the river’s flow will help show just how quickly our chances are gone

[Chorus]

You might not set out on your own
But you must reach the shore alone
By yourself you’ll see you can be stronger than you’d have otherwise known

[Chorus]

So go and cross it if you dare
And when at last you’re finally there
You might even find you don’t mind all the trouble in traveling there.

[Chorus]
