Lyrics

River So Wide

From Dance into the Light1996

Written by Phil Collins

Produced by Hugh Padgham, Phil Collins

Lyrics

River So Wide

[Verse 1] If we can cross at the place that divides us Cross the river, the river so wide If we can smother the pain that's inside us Deny the demons that wait bu our side We can find, find the light [Chorus 1] Our nights are filled with the light of the same moon We share the comfort of the same stars Our days are bright with the light of the same sun That don't matter, can't you see what we are What we are, what we become? [Chorus 2] Keep our sights on the way ahead Don't look back, it won't help us now The storm we left so far behind Seems a dark memory that starts to fade But till we see the light we will not be safe [Verse 2] We all sink or swim in the same ocean Break our skin and we will bleed Our minutes pass with the same motion We face the same danger, we share the same needs We're all the same, you and me [Chorus 2] [Chorus 1] [Chorus 2]
