This song is dedicated to those who lost their lives in the earthquake that hit San Francisco in 1906. It is about one man's experience of who will see him to the other side of the river, the river between life and eternity.

Who will see me to the other side of the river?
Who will see me to the other side of these flames?
Built on the blood and gold of the forty niners.
Who will see me to the other side of the river?

The quake hit hard in April of that year.
Many were lost to their God above,
caught in the blazing winds that tore our hearts with fear.
Who will see me to the other side of the river?

We all hold onto our dreams
deep down in our souls
but life brings natures extremes
and time just rolls and rolls and rolls.

Who will see me to the other side of the river?
I can see light fading fast before my eyes.
Time may roll away but mine is done.
Remember us, remember we are daughters and sons.

The last thing that I heard was thunder in the sky.
I crawled up into a ball and now that’s where I lie.
1906 took family and friends. They’re waiting to take me my journeys end
and who will see me to the other side of the river
and who will see me to the other side of the river
and who will see me to the other side of the river
