Across the River Lyrics


[Music: Vicinity / Lyrics: Kristian Nergård]

Sickened by despair

Your suffering compels you

People knew you were troubled

But no one realized how far you'd gone

No will left to live

When hope faded at last

If you had reached out to someone

They could have

Helped you across the river

Helped you keep your faith in the life you've been given

The need to go on

No one understands how much you struggled

But you need to know

We all need some guidance,

when we feel like we're alone

One selfish choice

No reason for hate

You'd had your fill

You faced what we cannot understand

The pain weighed too much

And you fought it all alone

I never knew this side of you

If we had known,

we could have

Helped you across the river

To keep your faith in the life you've been given

The need to go on

No one understands how much you struggled

But you need to know

We all need some guidance,

when we feel like we're alone

How does the pain become unbearable?

How do you cope with it all?

How did things come this far?

You couldn't hold on, who can blame you?

Let me help you across the river

Helped you keep your faith in the life you've been given

The need to go on

No one understands how much you struggled

But you need to know

We all need some guidance,

when we feel like we're alone
