Woke up one to find tracks in the rain I went to follow to find from where they came a hill and then underneath a bridge Down by a riverbank I stood a ridge
Where a voice in the meadow, accompanied by - Such a sound to behold - was this refrain:
There's a river to cross, a to climb A bridge for you to over the tide When the water is deep, the is low Wash your troubles and watch that river flow
I followed that sound in the that were said Got me out of a cabin a gun was next to bed I'd been laid low for the I had done Then words appeared to me on the tip of my tongue
I stop singing them over and over again Don't remember not them, or when it all began like some ancient someone came over a hill Sayin' you might think you something but you don't know nothing 'til...
a river to cross, a mountain to climb A bridge for you to build over the the water is deep, the valley is low Wash away your troubles and watch river flow
So I'm carrying this with me everywhere my burden gets heavy amidst most all my cares Through this life living, you got to take it day by day You never what's coming or going along the way
There's a song for every person, a cure for pain Just singing, you'll find tracks in the rain
There's a to cross, a mountain to climb A bridge for you to build the tide When the water is and the valley is low Wash away troubles, and let that river flow
