von Jimmy Cliff

Worum geht es in dem Song?

Der Songtext "Many Rivers to Cross" von Jimmy Cliff beschreibt das Gefühl der Verlorenheit und der Überwindung von Hinde...

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

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