the river is wide, child
the river runs deep
don't you fret, no
don't you weep
the river is wide, child
the river is wide
but your promise 's
on the other side
~~~
don't be afraid
the current 's slow
and you can meander
with the flow
take your time
there is no rush
hear the water
hear the hush
~ chorus ~
see the world, child
from your boat
watch the others
as they float
see the redness
of the waves
dip your hand
the water saves
~ chorus ~
smell the richness
in your craft
be it a yacht
or be it a raft
the water is sweet, yes
the water is free
it stretches far
as you can see
~~~
the river is wide, child
the river runs deep
pray the Lord
your soul to keep
the river is wide, child
the river is wide
but everyone goes
to the other side
