Cross It Slow

Cross the river, and cross it slow

Been looking hard for the way to go

In the mirror I see a fire

That’s burning out the old worn out liar

I see the problem that’s on my hands

Fight the feelings and make my plans

Lift my fists up, and hold them high

Laugh out loud until I start to cry

I’m a man, that’s been told before

That I’m only average, and nothing more

But I never replied, as I ate the dirt

Cause the ones who are lying, are the ones that hurt

So here’s to the shattered lives

And to the broken minds

You’re not alone, no not tonight

Someone cares, just hold on tight

And cross the river, and cross it slow

Keep your head up, steady as you go

Another day, and another night

Everything is gonna be alright

I know you’ve, been here before

Been trapped behind the same old door

Take a deep breath, and look inside

Gotta fight the urge to run and hide

Lift your face up, and hold it high

Kick the door in, break down the lie

Drop the hurt that you now know

Take the pain and let it go

So here’s to the shattered lives

And to the broken minds

You’re not alone, no not tonight

Someone cares, just hold on tight

And cross the river, and cross it slow

Keep your head up, steady as you go

Another day, and another night

Everything is gonna be alright

Yeah, everything is gonna be alright [x4]
