Without Fear - Round Mountain

Do you know a river so wide

in the fog you can’t see the other side?

Do you know that river of soul —

it runs so deep and the water’s so cold?

Yes, I know a river with the banks so wide

and one day I’ll cross it to the other side

Yes, I know a river where my friends have gone

and I’ll cross it gently just like a swan

Do you know that river of mind

it can block you off from what you’re trying to find

How do you dance between that river’s roar

and the song that calls you from the other shore?

I will dance with courage and I’ll dance with pride

feel the wonder healing what our fear divides

And I’ll cross that river with a song to sing

and I’ll feel so thankful, feel just like a king

Without fear, without fear, though you’ve been denied

it’s all clear, it’s all clear to the other side

Oh the river is long, but it’s not so wide

it’s all clear, it’s all clear to the other side

and I don’t want to be refused

tell me what have I got to lose?

Don’t be stymied, and don’t be slow

you must live that river running through your soul

Will you sing that song with me, my friend

may we sing forever, may it never end?

When I cross that river on a summer’s day

and the shimmering sun has burned the fog away

and the current’s slower with the rising tide

I will cross that river from the other side
