Jimmy Cliff - Many rivers to cross

houseofreggae

[Intro]

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 me and she didn't say why,
well, I guess I'll have to cry !

Many rivers to cross
but just where to begin 
I'm playing for time.

There have been times I find myself,
thinking of committing 
some dreadful crime.

Yes, 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.

Yes, I've got many rivers to cross
and I merely survive because of my will
