Far 'cross the river
A man was calling out to me
I can't hear what he's saying
Why don't that man let me be
Oh I beg him, I beg him, I beg him to release me
Oh but he will not set me free, no

A silence calms my madness
And it won't try to enter my mind
For I walk across the river
I know, I know, I know it's time
I no longer have my pride babe no
I think it's gonna work out fine
