Many Rivers to Cross - Jimmy Cliff
1000 / 10
There are no other words to describe this piece as anything other than mastery. It doesn't matter what you are going through because the smooth vocal cords of Jimy cliff singing reggae will resonate with whatever you have going on. Whenever I am crying about something or someone I can't seem to manage or for lack of better words control, Jimmy Cliff allows me to realize that I have to work on myself to better myself, for myself.
The song is about knowing you have to better yourself, but how? How can one deviate from their ways and become a better person entirely? Another theme in the song is that it is '' such a tragedy to be on your own". Without the people we love, the world is such a horrible place. Therefore, if we can't help better ourselves, shouldn't we better ourselves for the people we love? The song shows that everything is a process and that there will be many rivers to cross. As the editor and publisher of TheStackRuns, I highly encourage you guys to listen to this song that has touched my heart on several occasions. Thank you, Jimmy Cliff.
Lyrics
Many rivers to cross
But I can't seem to find my way over
Wandering I am lost
As I travel along the white cliffs of Dover
Many rivers to cross
And it's only my will that keeps me alive
I've been licked, washed up for years
And I merely survive because of my pride
And this loneliness won't leave me alone
It's such a drag to be on your own
My woman left me and she didn't say why
Well I guess, I have to try
Many rivers to cross
But just where to begin, I'm playing for time
There are times I find myself
Thinking of committing some dreadful crime
Yes, I've got many rivers to cross
But I can't seem to find my way over
Wandering I am lost
As I travel along the white cliffs of Dover
