The rivers too wide now for crossing
The waters rush too loud for talking
We never build bridges for walking
‘Cause the rivers too wide
The gentle stream
Once flowed between us
But love could cross it easily
‘Til stormy skies
Brought bitter teardrops
And made that stream a raging river
Come between you and me
The rivers too wide now for crossing
The waters rush too loud for talking
We never build bridges for walking
Theres no getting to the other side
The rivers too wide now for crossing
The hurting goes too deep for mending
It looks like an unhappy ending
‘Cause the rivers too wide
But lessons learned are not forgotten
We gave our blood to save our pride
Next time Im faced with rising waters
Ill build a bridge of love and kindness
Reaching to the other side
The rivers too wide now for crossing
The waters rush too loud for talking
We never build bridges for walking
Theres no getting to the other side
The rivers too wide now for crossing
The hurting goes too deep for mending
It looks like an unhappy ending
‘Cause the rivers too wide
The rivers too wide now for crossing
The waters rush too loud for talking
We never build bridges for walking
Theres no getting to the other side
The rivers too wide now for crossing
The hurting goes too deep for mending
It looks like an unhappy ending
‘Cause the rivers too wide
The rivers too wide now for crossing
The waters rush too loud for talking
We never build bridges for walking
Theres no getting to the other side
The rivers too wide now for crossing
The hurting goes too deep for mending
It looks like an unhappy ending
‘Cause the rivers too wide
The rivers too wide now for crossing
The waters rush too loud for talking
