How many rivers must I cross   I don't know   How many rivers must I cross   I don't know      Talk about your days   I hope are too narrow   To the É. a better day I'll go   Oh and the load I carry   Makes me slow   We'll bring the burden's truth   We're watch it grow      (chorus)      Where are those freaks   Who had me down   They won't believe their eyes   When they see where I'm bound   Where the sun shines   Where the sun's so high   Walk on their fingers   Watch how É rise      How many rivers must I cross   I don't know      These eyes have seen through god   These lips have tasted love   And those been far away   But the hope has always stayed      (chorus)      I'll make you pause when people stand   And shake these hands   I'll make you pause when people stand   And shake these hands      How many rivers must I cross   I don't know
