How many times
Have I stood
By the river

And could not see
To the other side
Hoping like moses

The clouds
Would be lifted
Stretch out my hand

The waters divide

Lay back the darkness

Let in the light
Take all the wrongs
Make them all right

And if I could
Lay down these blues
For good


For so long I'm standing
Alone at the crossroad

Praying for someone
To give me a ride
Watching as slowly

Shadows come crawling
But nobody knows me
They all pass me by


We're all
Born to trouble

In troubling times
This world has a way
Of wearing us down

But the earth
Keeps on turning
Night turns to day

And every new morning
Mercies come round
