(Jimmy Cliff)
Many rivers to cross
But I can't seem to find my way over

Wandering I am lost as I travel along
The white cliffs of Dover
Many rivers to cross and it's only my will

That keeps me alive
I've been licked, washed up for years and
I merely survive because of my pride

And this loneliness won't leave me alone
It's such a drag to be on your own
My woman left and she didn't say why

Well I guess, I gotta try
Many rivers to cross but where to begin
I'm playing for time

There'll be times when I find myself thinking
Of committing some dreadful crime
I've got many rivers to cross

But I can't seem to find my way over
Wandering I am lost as I travel along
The white cliffs of Dover

Many rivers to cross and it's only my will
That keeps me alive
I've been licked, washed up for years and

I merely survive because of my pride.
