The Crossing Verse1; When I reach the riverside, I could go up, I could go down, I could stay dry What is on the other side? I could be safe, I could be warm, I could still hide On the other shoreline looming through the trees I see the mansion That I had hoped to live in long ago Will I ever find a place to rest, someone to comfort me? Oh I just don’t know, I just don’t know…. When I reach the riverside Chorus 1; In the water I can see those flecks of gray and the reflection That comes from life no matter how it’s lived I had hoped someday to see that face smile back at me contented But now I know it’s you I must forgive Verse 2; Now I stand here on the shore, wanting to stay, wanting to go, hoping there’s more Wondering what I’ll face across that ragin’ river? Gotta move on, knowing full well that’s what life’s for Will I drown here in the currents of my life when it’s the water That crossed my callow soul so long ago And as I stare into the murky depths I think I see the lessons That I have learned so many times before…. When I reached the riverside Chorus 2; The holy Seer speaks to me about redemption All I can think about…I can only contemplate revenge Never thought I face an image so Potemkin but now I realize And seeing the whole truth just makes me cringe Verse 3; Now I’ve reached the other side I can see light, I can see dark, I can decide I don’t waste my time by living in illusion…simply be here, simply be here now, enjoy the ride I won’t try so hard to meet your expectations Hope you sympathize and you’ll simply take me as I am I had hoped someday to see my life turn out to be transcendent But I am just an ordinary man Now I’ve reached the riverside…. And I swam against the tide And I’ve made the other side

Before I Go Verse 1 Before I Go, I’d like to say that if I’ve hurt you in any way, I’m sorry I’ve fallen short in many things, and with the focus my life brings, I worry I’ve roamed and searched to find the truth, through the ages and my troubled youth I’ve set my mind on distant stars, spent many nights in crowded bars Only to remain alone. Lost and far from home Chorus 1 All I ask before I go - is keep me in your memory so that I could live in some small way and if that's heaven, that's ok Partial Verse The ones I’ve loved and ones I’ve lost, I could not foresee the cost But now the final bill is due and all that I can ask of you is mercy If only I'd believed in time, this heart could bring some peace of mind Verse 3 I will hold you in my heart, in that place that ends and starts And I will keep you in that space where love assumes a state of grace And I hope we’ll meet again someday, until that time I have to say, I love you, I love you Chorus 3 All I ask before I go, is keep me in your memory so That I’d still live in some small way, and if that’s heaven – that’s ok
