Across the River Lyrics

[Music: Vicinity / Lyrics: Kristian Nergård]

Sickened by despair
Your suffering compels you
People knew you were troubled
But no one realized how far you'd gone

No will left to live
When hope faded at last
If you had reached out to someone

They could have
Helped you across the river
Helped you keep your faith in the life you've been given
The need to go on
No one understands how much you struggled
But you need to know
We all need some guidance,
when we feel like we're alone

One selfish choice
No reason for hate
You'd had your fill
You faced what we cannot understand

The pain weighed too much
And you fought it all alone
I never knew this side of you
If we had known,
we could have

Helped you across the river
To keep your faith in the life you've been given
The need to go on
No one understands how much you struggled
But you need to know
We all need some guidance,
when we feel like we're alone

How does the pain become unbearable?
How do you cope with it all?
How did things come this far?
You couldn't hold on, who can blame you?

Let me help you across the river
Helped you keep your faith in the life you've been given
The need to go on
No one understands how much you struggled
But you need to know
We all need some guidance,
when we feel like we're alone
