River So Wide

C
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 by our 
G
side,
       F              C
We can find, find the light

C
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 
        G
what we are,
        F              C
What we are, what we become?

F/C                   G/C
Keep our sights on the way ahead,
F/D                       G/D
Don't look back, it won't help us 
now.

  The storm we left so far behind
             C/G                   
Seems a dark memory that starts to 
G/A
fade,
            F/D                  
But till we see the light we will 
        C
not be safe.

We all sink or swim 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 
         G
the same needs,
              F             C
We're all the same, you and me.

F/D                       G/D
Don't look back, that won't help us 
now.

  Upstream, the river gets too wide
           C/G                     
So we must build that bridge right 
G/A
here,
            F/D                    
Cause if we wait we will not reach 
          C
the other side.

See under that clear blue sky
             Am                    
The winds of change are blowing 
      G
hard and long,
            F                      
And they'll not stop to rest 'cause
     G               C
 the change is gonna come

  Cause upstream the river gets

too wide
                C/G              
And if we don't build that bridge

right here, right now,
               F/D                 
You know we'll never ever reach the
       C
 other side.
