Cliff, Jimmy - Many Rivers To Cross Lyrics

always identified personally with this song since I was twelve and still do now at 48.

Why some people have to be so negative and say no one cares what brought you here I personally love to hear what brings people here.music is such a wonderful thing to bring people together so why your negative thoughts keep them to yourself

AFRICAN CARRIBEAN AND ALL STRUGGLERS ANTHEM

This song makes my heart cry ❤️

I first heard this song in the "Long Kiss Goodnight" movie on VHS while in the Army and got pissed I went 19yrs. of my life without hearing it. I asked my friend, who was Jamaican and watching the movie with me, if he had ever heard it before and he was like of course, he grew up on this...

Many river to cross, sometimes people look at you and think you're lucky. If you are not in my life you dont know what am going through

This song can relate to are darkest hour of suffering!

Here because of High Fidelity movie. One of Rob Gordon's Top Five songs to be sung at his funeral!!

I feel this song so much right now. The struggle is real.

Voici un autre Grand Féticheur du reggae , Jimmy ne vieillit jamais . Son secret ? Demandez à U Roy ....

Jimmy Cliff's Many rivers to cross, placed at baby granddaughter's funeral and last year at her father Anthony's. Met Jimmy many years ago, back in about the when a friend played drums with him on a tour. Such a good person. Samah

Love this man ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

Mio Dio, avevo 14 anni e tutta la vita davanti_!!! :((((

God bless you Gloria I miss you ❤️❤️❤️❤️

20th century music master James chambers a.k.a Jimmy Cliff extraordinary genius

this song brings me to my knees

Some songs never get old

❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Why is Jimmy YELLING this tune? Seems like it is one that should be sung low sweet and low, like Sitting in Limbo ..

Listening to this February 2020. Feeling down today and struggling.
The the words "just where to begin" stands firm with me right now.

The Long Kiss Goodnight used this classic track before Daredevil. I don't even remeber this song on that movie... That movie was whack.

This must be the theme tune of the Windrush Generation ; trying to enter (and stay in !) the UK.

they took me and sent me to mental hospital 一年半載 to avoid law case

accused so to gather my remaining power and relatives and money to gamble life away again

they want to win my privacy and accuse me for adultery long ago I let their wish come true they still wouldn't let go

Kobe😭

This is such a fine song.

Linda voz

Lindíssima voz e canção! 😍😍😍

We all have a long way to go

I think about that song everyday when I enter my office .....

We already crossed our rivers and now we are together forever in love you & I❤💋💋👫

Watched long kiss goodnight and heard this.....Damn its been a long time.

Always listen to the real music

Simply a brilliant song, which connects with me and likely many, many other people.

Brings tears to my eyes. That's how I know it's real.

I’m just crying my eyes out . Just a beautiful song . Omg

He is really great. Have had this song in his voice in my head for days. I still remember how much fun the movie was.

නදී ගoගා තරනයේ... ❤️ Srilanka ❣️

Nobody can sing this song like Jimmy Cliff. Fact 💯

Truth Hitman : that’s because he’s the originator!... he wrote this song and sang it!! Many others covered it. He also wrote “Trapped” for Bruce Springsteen!

@mystic
Yes, but sometimes people can sing the cover better than the original. But not in this case.

Many rivers to cross
But I can't seem to find my way over
Wandering I am lost
As I travel along the white cliffs of Dover
Many rivers to cross
And it's only my will that keeps me alive
I've been licked, washed up for years
And I merely survive because of my pride
And this loneliness won't leave me alone
It's such a drag to be on your own
My woman left me and she didn't say why
Well I guess, I have to try
Many rivers to cross
But just where to begin, I'm playing for time
There are times I find myself
Thinking of committing some dreadful crime
Yes, I've got many rivers to cross
But I can't seem to find my way over
Wandering I am lost
As I travel along the white cliffs of Dover

Had this played at my dads funeral, such a touching,beutifull song of struggle, strength and pride. Gets me everytime

Its a JIMMY CLIFF day...and gettin me a pina colada

Who listening in 2020?

Jimmy Cliff’s voice is an exceptional instrument!

🔥🔥🔥🇯🇲Chuneeeee

Is FIX YOU by Coldplay related to this??

Ho-Yesss!!

The Long Kiss Goodnight movie

Spine tingling

Song that lives on

I'm in such a deep dark place right now and I play this song everyday just to pull through my day.

It gets better

Other than Henry Gates show, this is my first time hearing that. It really pulls at your heart.

😍💕💖💗💙💙💚💚💗💖💖💕💕💥💥💥💛💢💜💫💌💕💓

Many rivers to cross ................if i can't i will be dead soon.

Falling skies anyone

Original and best version. This has something missing in a lot of today's music. I can hear it "Okay Boomer", but recordings back in the day didn't have places to hide, no autotune etc. Got here by accident, I need more accidents.

By far the better version by the original man... absolutely beautiful

from ben's death..

My man fucked and he didn't say why.

Stunning song for the day, the lyric's are so relevant and timeless

good song

Wicked one of the oldes love this music

I tell myself I will never give up this song save my soul
