I drive my oar into the water
Take your arm in mine
I believe that I have seen a sight
On the other side of the river
The day will go strengthening you
Little by little against the cold
I believe that I have seen a sight
On the other side of the river
Above all I believe that
Not all is lost
So many tears, so many tears and I
I am an empty glass
I hear a voice that calls to me
Almost a whisper
Row row row on
Row row row on
On this shore of the world
What is not taken is left to us
I believe that I have seen a sight
On the other side of the river
Very serious I am going rowing
Deep inside I am smiling
I believe that I have seen a sight
On the other side of the river
Above all I believe that
All is not lost
So many tears, so many tears and I
And I am an empty glass
I hear a voice that calls to me
Almost as a whisper
Row row row on
Row row row on
I drive my oar into the water
Take your arm in mine
I believe that I have seen a sight
On the other side of the river
