Phil Collins - 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 by 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 'til 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, that 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
