Nature nurture heaven and home
Sum of all and by them driven
To conquer every mountain shown

But I've never crossed the river

Brave the forest, brave the stone

Brave the icy winds and fire
Braved and beat them on my own
Yet I'm helpless by the river


Angel, angel what have I done
I face the quakes, the wind, the fire

I've conquered country, crown, and throne
Why can't I cross this river


Angel, angel what have I done
I face the quakes, the wind, the fire
I've conquered country, crown, and throne

Why can't I cross this river

Pay no mind to the battles you've won

It'll take a lot more than rage and muscle
Open your heart and hands my son
Or you'll never make it over the river


It'll take a lot more than words and guns
A whole lot more than riches and muscle

The hands of many must join as one
And together we'll cross the river


It'll take a lot more than words and guns
A whole lot more than riches and muscle
The hands of many must join as one

And together we'll cross the river
