Collins Phil River So Wide Lyrics

River So Wide Lyrics

If we can cross at the place that divides us.

 cross the river, the river so wide,

 if we can smother the pain that's inside us,

 deny the demons that wait bu our side,

 we can find, find the light

 

 Our nights are filled with the light of the same moon,

 we share the comfort of the same stars.

 Our days are bright with the light of the same sun,

 that don't matter, can't you see what we are,

 what we are, what we become?

 

 Keep our sights on the way ahead,

 don't look back, it won't help us now.

 The storm we left so far behind

 seems a dark memory that starts to fade,

 but till we see the light we will not be safe.

 

 We all sink or swin in the same ocean,

 break our skin and we will bleed

 our minutes pass with the same motion,

 we face the same danger, we share the same needs,

 we're all the same, you and me.

 

 Keep our sights on the way ahead,

 don't look back, that won't help us now.

 Upstream, the river gets too wide

 so we must build that bridge right here,

 'cos if we wait we will not reach the other side.

 See under that clear blue sky

 the winds of change are blowing hard and long,

 and they'll not stop to rest 'cos the change is gonna come

 

 Our nights are filled with the light of the same moon,

 we share the comfort of the same stars.

 Our days are bright with the light of the same sun,

 that don't matter, can't you see what we are,

 what we are, what we become?

 

 Keep our sights on the way ahead,

 don't look back, it won't help us now.

 'cos upstream the river gets too wide

 and if we don't build that bridge right here, right now,

 you know we'll never ever reach the other side.
