THE OTHER SIDE OF THE STREAM (words & music by Richard Neal copyright 2007) There's a river running In the shadow of the pines Through the forest flowing To the sea it winds How I long to journey To the distant shore It's too wide to swim It's too deep to ford <> Up 'til now all I can do is dream About getting to the other side of the stream I'll consider any plot, plan, or scheme That will get me to the other side of the stream It's frozen it the winter The ice is none too thick If you step upon it You'll go down like a brick In the spring it thaws out You should hear the rapids roar Any boat that puts in Is wrecked upon the shore <> Up 'til now all I can do is dream About getting to the other side of the stream I'll consider any plot, plan, or scheme That gets me to the other side of the stream Many are the sorrows Many's the life we've lost Many a soul has perished Trying to get across Even though the other shore Never has been reached I know there's a way I know it can be breached <> Up 'til now all I can do is dream About getting to the other side of the stream When I get there all will be redeemed When I make it to the other side of the stream When I get there all will be redeemed When I make it to the other side of the stream
