It has been raining
for so long
I have been praying
for a break in the storm
but in the thunder
I hear your name
and it takes me under
underneath all this pain
and I've got to get on with my life
but I don't know how
tell me...
[chorus]
how many rivers to cross
how many crosses to bear
how many miles till I get there
without you
I have been waiting
for so long

now this woman is saying
she can't wait anymore
no sound of thunder
no threat of rain
can keep me under
underneath all this pain
and I've got to get on with my life
but I don't know how
please tell me
repeat chorus
how many rivers to cross
how many crosses to bear
how many miles till I get there
repeat and fade
