Many Rivers to Cross Songtext
von 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


But the 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 have to try

Many (many) rivers to cross (rivers to cross)
But just where to begin? I′m playing for time
There'll be times (many) I find myself (rivers to cross)
Thinking of committing some dreadful crime

Yes, I got many (many) rivers to cross (rivers to cross)
But I can′t seem to find my way over
(I've got) wandering, I am lost (many rivers to cross)
As I travel along the white cliffs of Dover
