Jimmy Cliff Many Rivers To Cross Video: 1989 Jamaica -

PLEASE SEE RESPONSES-Lyrics,Many rivers to cross
But I can't seem to find my way over
Wandering I am lost
As I travel along the white cliffs of dover
Many rivers to cross
And it's only my will that keeps me alive
I've been licked, washed up for years
And I merely survive because of my pride
And this loneliness won't leave me alone
It's such a drag to be on your own
My woman left me and she didn't say why
Well, I guess I'll have to cry
Many rivers to cross
But just where to begin I'm playing for time

One of the main upsetting factors today is that black people will sometimes have to work twice as hard. We are still 'mocked' by slavery and while there is better equality its not enough. Generally speaking, black people will always have to work twice as hard to cross those rivers. But with pride and hope we shall get there.

@carlorowe ---- it is the pride that so impresses me. As a minority person in america, i understand a little of what you feel.

@Theloniaboy I remember Ricks... use to tie up the dingy at the cliffs...really hard on the dingy. But Rick was a friend... haven't seen him in forever. Remember the market in Sav?? We had a Camaro & filled it to the roof with potato, yam, salad & oranges to stock the kitchen at the old Yacht Club. Glad to have seen it before the resorts took over.

@TheLilibelle - yup, remember sav when wild pigs roamed the street, rember cottage on the rocks w/ george & his memorable stove next door to u, then formed birchrunville south up the road...

I had a Jamaican Uncle who married into my UK white family circa 1980 and even as a youngster remember him being put down by relatives. Little do those elders who have since passed away know of the peace and tolerance he instilled in us as children when apart from the racist elders. A hero in his own right and my very own Jimmy Cliff. Bless.

@carlorowe Am sorry for you black people living in other races worlds and your are treated as minority or lower class. I live were black is the Majority so i cant relate to what you are saying man. i don't have to work twice as hard but deal with the evils of our own black people which are jealousy, envy, corruption, lack of self esteem and all that shit that blacks naturally have...Africa is where am at and Blacks are f**king kings out here man.

It's so funny how history can sometimes repeat itself. I remember as a child my mom would play this song over and over crying. She has gone home to be with the Lord and I find myself reminiscing and crying. I guess children live what they learn.

This is love.

@carlorowe Really? Where do you live?.... I lived in LA.. never heard anyone 'mock' blacks or slavery. And that was 1990's...... Generally speaking black people will always use slavery as an excuse.  People got to grow up! Talking about yo Bitches and yo Hos.... Yo Brother! Grow Up! Treat your women right....You want equality? Never gonna get it until you you stop calling women bitches and hos....
