I have been pulling out music books - trying to find songs to play and sing, trying to find something to make me feel better, more complete, alive, or something... I have had this song in a book for years, but have never heard it before. I played it, just because I liked the title.
I've been wanderin' 'round in the dark
Been lost somewhere where no light could shine on my heart
I have known a pain so deep
But I know my faith will free me
And I'll get through this
I'll find my way again
So don't tell me that it's over
'Cause each step just gets me closer
I will get there
I will get there somehow
Cross that river
Nothing's stoppin' me now
I will get through the night (Oh, yes, I will)
And make it through to the other side
I got to the second verse, and sang the words about chains and I couldn't continue singing. I was too choked up. I ached inside with the hope that one day I will be free from all of these chains.
I've been in these chains for so long
I'll break free and I'll be there where I belong
Hold my head up high, I'll stand tall
And I swear this time I won't fall
I will do this
No matter what it takes
'Cause I know no limitations
And I'll reach my destination, I will get there
I will get there somehow
Cross that river
Nothing's stoppin' me now
I will get through the night
And make it through to the other side
Get there
Well, the night is cold and dark
But somewhere the sun is shining
And I'll feel it shine on me
I'll keep on tryin', I'll keep on tryin'
I will get there
I will get there somehow
Nothing's stoppin' me now
I will get through the night
And make it through to the other side
Get there, get there
I will get there
I will get there somehow
Cross that river (I'll cross that river for you)
Nothing's stoppin' me now
I will get through the night
And make it through to the other side
(Get there) Get there
I'll get there
I will get there! I will get there! I will get there!
You will break free of the chains that bind you. I know you can make it through.
