Early one morning

Across the fields of dawn

Crooked is the shadow

That falls on my land

Storm clouds overhead

Like birds of prey in wait

How can we undo

What cannot be undone

I feel the darkness heavy

Heavy on my heart

There's distance between us

Tearing us apart



How many rivers must I cross?

Somehow, somewhere I will find a way

How many rivers must I cross?

Somehow, somewhere I will find a way to cross



I see the proud black mountain

Beneath an angry sun

Under drowning valleys

Our disappearing tongue

How many battles must we fight

Before we start a war?

How many wounds will open

Before the first blood falls?

Once the banks are broken

Floods must surely come

Once the land rips open

Rivers of blood will run



How many rivers must I cross?

Somehow, Somewhere I will find a way

How many rivers must I cross?

Somehow, somewhere I will find a way to cross



How many battles must we fight

Before we start a war?

How many wounds will open

Before the first blood falls?



How many rivers must I cross?

Somehow, Somewhere I will find a way

How many rivers must I cross?

Somehow, somewhere I will find a way to cross
