Joining the road you've been walking for miles on You never let me look back Show me the right way a shoulder to cry on Gave me the chance you never had Tell me a story that I can hold on to Long after days that you're here All of the lessons that nobody taught you A sign that lets me know you're here I can feel your river in my heart Miles of troubled water, safe across the border I can feel your river in my heart Safe across the border Father to a daughter Mama you taught me to do what I had to To make all my dreams come true All of the struggle that you had to go through This woman ows it all to you I can feel your river in my heart Miles of troubled water, safe across the border I can feel your river in my heart Safe across the border Mother to a daughter Wherever you go I have followed But now it's my time To find my own road And when I let go I will feel your river in my heart Safe across the border Mother to a daughter I will feel your river in my heart Miles of troubled water Safe across the border That's where we are
