I Shall Cross This River Lyrics

Black Atlantic I Shall Cross This River

My love, she's chosen me
For my candor of speech
She takes me to the river
Like childe at play

She sees not this bitter man
But the promise of a lover
Once the darkness washes off
She moves into my arms

So too my faolks support me
Through my restless whims
For they see not this failure
But the promise of a firstborn

When my darkness leaves
When my fall is complete
I shall cross this river
For them
