Nature, Nurture, Heaven and Home Sum of all and by them driven To conquer every mountain shown But I've never crossed this river Braved the Forest, braved the Stone Braved the icy winds and fire Braved and beat them on my own Yet I'm helpless by this river Angel, Angel, what have I done? I've faced the quakes, the wind, the fire I've conquered country, crown, and throne Why can't I cross this river? Pay no mind to the battles you've won It'll take a lot more than rage and muscle Open your heart and hands, my son Or You'll never make it over the river It'll take a lot more than the words and guns A whole lot more than riches and muscle The hands of the many must join as one And together we'll cross the river
