作曲 : Josh Joplin & Garrison Starr 作词 : Josh Joplin 介绍: "High, Low & Wide" was inspired by grief — the absence of someone whose loss compels us to reflect on our own lives. Like the Wayfaring Stranger who will someday meet his mother, there is a journey we all must go through to get there. It is said that each year we are inscribed in the book of life and as such we are required to acknowledge our own transgressions before it is sealed. Simply put, in the words of another great old spiritual:"Ain't nobody here who can do it for you, you've got to cross that lonesome valley by yourself." I am but a shadow Cast upon the road And we are all but strangers Bearing a heavy load And all these worldly things We won't need anymore You'll only take your place Standing on that shore High, low and wide That's just how big this ocean gets Stronger than the tide That's just how hard this journey is You've got to cross it alone You've got to cross it alone You've got to cross it alone To get back home The efforts of the sun Are wasted on the rain There's nothing in this world To take away your pain High, low and wide That's how big this ocean gets Stronger than the tide That's just how hard this journey is You've got to cross it alone You've got to cross it alone You've got to cross it alone To get back home If you cross it alone Free then you shall be From the troubles that you know Are we just sailing to get back home You've got to cross it alone × 14
