River So Wide

C 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, G Deny the demons that wait by our side, F C We can find, find the light --- C 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, G That don't matter, can't you see what we are, F C What we are, what we become? --- F/C G/C Keep our sights on the way ahead, F/D G/D Don't look back, it won't help us now. C/E Em F The storm we left so far behind C/G G/A Seems a dark memory that starts to fade, F/D C But till we see the light we will not be safe. --- C We all sink or swim in the same ocean, Break our skin and we will bleed Our minutes pass with the same motion, G We face the same danger, we share the same needs, F C We're all the same, you and me. --- F/C G/C Keep our sights on the way ahead, F/D G/D Don't look back, that won't help us now. C/E Em F Upstream, the river gets too wide C/G G/A So we must build that bridge right here, F/D C Cause if we wait we will not reach the other side. --- C G F/G C --- F G See under that clear blue sky Am G The winds of change are blowing hard and long, F G C And they'll not stop to rest 'cause the change is gonna come --- Percussion only until G C 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, G That don't matter, can't you see what we are, F C What we are, what we become? --- F/C G/C Keep our sights on the way ahead, F/D G/D Don't look back, it won't help us now. C/E Em F Cause upstream the river gets too wide C/G G/A And if we don't build that bridge right here, right now, F/D C You know we'll never ever reach the other side.
