River Cross (One World: Together At Home) Eddie Vedder

Always thought I'd cross that river
The other side, distant now
As we got close, it turned and widened
The horizon now fading out

Drifting off in the undertow
Can't spot a figure on dry land
And afterthoughts of safety
When in truth, none to be had
None to be had

I used to tell time by my shadow
'Til the thunderclouds, they took the stage
These days will end as do the light's rays
Another read of the same page

Wide awake through this deepest night
Still waiting on the sun
As the hours seem to multiply
Find a star to soldier on
Oh, folded over, forced in a choke hold
Outnumbered and held down
As we fight with the envies of old
For the future, feel the promise now

Of here and now
Here and now
Won't hold us down
Won't hold us down
Let it out, shout it out
Give it out, get it out
Won't hold us down
Won't hold us down
