i stand by the river
as the tide makes me wait
i want to cross over
before it’s too late;
i see you my soulmate
it seems i’ll never reach
time’s really with the tide
and that i can never breach;
sands of time are ever so rough
there’s no let up for love or pain
searing winds make it really tough
for me to cross and see you again;
i stand by the river
knowing that i just can’t turn the tide
and i pray to the Giver
to always be on your side;
even if i‘m not with you
there’s no reason for you to frown
now that you’re getting your due
just go ahead and seek your crown;
watching you my soulmate
am just happy to see your flight
for sands of time have got me late
to reach you, yearn as i might.
