The Humbling River

Nature, nurture, heaven, and home Sum of all, and by them, driven To conquer every mountain shown But I've never crossed the river Braved the forests, braved the stone Braved the icy winds and fire Braved and beat them on my own Yet I'm helpless by the river Angel, angel, what have I done? I've faced the quakes, the wind, the fire I've conquered country, crown, and throne Why can't I cross this river? Angel, angel, what have I done? I've faced the quakes, the wind, the fire I've conquered country, crown, and throne Why can't I cross this river? Pay no mind to the battles you've won It'll take a lot more than rage and muscle Open your heart and hands, my son Or you'll never make it over the river It'll take a lot more than words and guns A whole lot more than riches and muscle The hands of the many must join as one And together we'll cross the river It'll take a lot more than words and guns A whole lot more than riches and muscle The hands of the many must join as one And together we'll cross the river Nature, nurture, heaven, and home It'll take a lot more than words and guns Sum of all, and by them, driven A whole lot more than riches and muscle To conquer every mountain shown The hands of the many must join as one And together we'll cross the river Braved the forests, braved the stone It'll take a lot more than words and guns Braved the icy winds and fire A whole lot more than riches and muscle Braved and beat them on my own The hands of the many must join as one And together we'll cross the river And together we'll cross the river And together we'll cross the river Nature, nurture, heaven, and home And together we'll cross the river And together we'll cross the river Nature, nurture, heaven, and home And together we'll cross the river And together we'll cross the river
