Carry Me Home

Lyrics to Wide River To Cross
There's a sorrow in the wind
Blowing' down the road I've been
I can hear it cry when shadows steal the sun
But I can not look back now
I've come too far to turn around
And there's still a race ahead that I must run

I'm only halfway home I gotta journey on
To where I'll find, I'll find the things that I have lost
I've come a long long road but still I've got miles to go
I've got a wide wide river to cross

I have stumbled I have strayed
You can trace the tracks I made
All across the memories my heart recalls
But I'm still a refugee won't you say a prayer for me
Cause sometimes even the strongest soldier falls

I'm only halfway home I gotta journey on
To where I'll find find the things that I have lost
I've come a long long road but still I've got miles to go
I've got a wide wide river to cross

I'm only halfway home I gotta journey on
To where I'll find find the things that I have lost
I've come a long long road but still I've got some miles to go
I've got a wide wide river to cross
I've got a wide wide river to cross
I've got a wide wide river to cross
