Lyrics
The Great Divide © Bob Stump 2019
The canyon is deep and the river is wide
the mountain is steep in the great divide
cant you hear me crying out out see my arms open wide
cant you feel me reaching out from the other side
Theres a lot of talk about what is right
do you cut and run or do you stand and fight
one way or the other doesn't have to be
theres a middle ground but we refuse to see
?yeah theres a hard rain falling from the sky
a cold wind burning my eyes
I can almost see you on the other side ?but were just drifters in the great divide
I can hear you my brother but the sound is faint
come a little bit closer don't hesitate
we could build a bridge or tear down a wall
and stand there together as we watch it fall
i know scars remain from cuts so deep
the revenge of children may never sleep
we must find a way to forgive all the pain and suffering
we got to get to the place where the healing can begin
yeah theres a hard rain falling from the sky
a cold wind burning my eyes
I can almost see you on the other side ?but were just drifters in the great divide
We're just drifters
