It keeps on raining in my sleep,
Waves are high, the water's deeper the farther that I go, whoa,
I have his voice to lead the way, but the current's sweeping me away,
I gotta dig my feet in and listen when he calls.

You can't stand too tall when you cross that river,
Gonna face it all on your way to the other side,
You can't stand too tall, or too close together,
We won't fall 'cause he'll keep our heads above the water,
You can't stand too tall.

Every time I try to rest another step just ends up testing me, but the best of me survives, whoa,
Can't keep from sinking in my fears just by the salt of my own tears,
Have to believe he's got me, 'til there's no fear at all.

You can't stand too tall when you cross that river,
Gonna face it all on your way to the other side,
You can't stand too tall, or too close together,
We won't fall 'cause he'll keep our heads above the water.

Cross that river, cross it forever.

You will reach the other side, so learn to love the ride.

You can't stand too tall when you cross that river,
Gonna face it all on your way to the other side,
You can't stand too tall, or too close together,
We won't fall 'cause he'll keep our heads above the water,
You can't stand too tall when you cross that river,
Gonna face it all on your way to the other side,
You can't stand too tall, or too close together,
We won't fall 'cause he'll keep our heads above the water.

You can't stand too tall.
