Comes a day when it's an empty hand you hold

When the cards you played in one was a lifetime ago.

There's no walking on water when you feel the pull of the tide.

Go into that dark and lonely as life slides by

It's miles and miles and the river is wide.

Your hopes and dreams have all gone to the other side.

You're a long, long way from that.

childhood home where the lessons of grace and love were

All you'd known You lost your way Y'all know

hard and wicked road trying to find your way back and just

Scared of being alone

Because it's miles and miles and miles

The river is wild Your hopes and dreams have all gone

To the other side.

Take my hand and we'll make our way

To a promised land free of sorrows and pain.

Let the waters wash over every sin and lie.

This is the last and the wildest ride of our lives.

And it's miles and miles and

The river is wide Our hopes and dreams are there just

On the other side, it's miles and miles and miles.

The river is wild Our hopes and dreams are there just

On the other side.

Our hopes and dreams are there just

On the other side
