The Water is wide, I can’t cross o’er
Nor neither have I wings to fly
Build me a boat that will carry two
And both will row, my child and I

And when we cross, we’ll dance and sing
A song of hope and life renewed
I’ll hold you close, and stare into your eyes How long I’ve waited, my child, for you

The water is wide, I can’t cross o’er
Nor neither have I wings to fly
Build me a boat that will carry two
And both will row, my child and I
