Rivers To Cross Lyrics - The Alarm

Early one morning 

Across the fields of dawn 

Crooked is the shadow 

That falls on my land 

Storm clouds overhead 

Like birds of prey in wait 

How can we undo 

What cannot be undone 

I feel the darkness heavy 

Heavy on my heart 

There's distance between us 

Tearing us apart 

How many rivers must I cross? 

Somehow, somewhere I will find a way 

How many rivers must I cross? 

Somehow, somewhere I will find a way to cross 

I see the proud black mountain 

Beneath an angry sun 

Under drowning valleys 

Our disappearing tongue 

How many battles must we fight 

Before we start a war? 

How many wounds will open 

Before the first blood falls? 

Once the banks are broken 

Floods must surely come 

Once the land rips open 

Rivers of blood will run 

How many rivers must I cross? 

Somehow, Somewhere I will find a way 

How many rivers must I cross? 

Somehow, somewhere I will find a way to cross 

How many battles must we fight 

Before we start a war? 

How many wounds will open 

Before the first blood falls? 

How many rivers must I cross? 

Somehow, Somewhere I will find a way 

How many rivers must I cross? 

Somehow, somewhere I will find a way to cross
