OK,  I don't know how to start this but I'll give it a try, thinking  of a song I love the most and having a duet  with it on a karaoke 🎤 level is no other person but the one I've heard her voice once and it registered  in my brain till date,  her birthday is just in a week time and I know the whole steemit will be agog  with the news with contest and challenges following back to back, no one else but @julietisrael and the song is **Many Rivers to Cross** by UB40 , this song ranked as one of the 500 greatest song of all time  and it's composed by Jimmy Cliff in 1969,  the group UB40 is  one of the most commercially successful reggae acts of all time in terms of record sales [over 70 million](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/UB40) and this song is so thick  in meaning and words and the UB40 first performed it in [1983](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Many_Rivers_to_Cross)

Many versions of this song has been  released and is still been released but the one made by UB40 stands the test of time till date. 

Enjoy some lyrics in it : 
> <center>Many rivers to cross
But I can't seem to find my way over
Wandering I am lost 
As I travel along
The white cliffs of Dover
Many rivers to cross 
And it's only my will
That keeps me alive
I've been licked, 
Washed up for years 
And I merely survive because of my pride.</center>


Whenever I made a post and there's  an encouraging payout and Upvote I'll listen to this song to tell myself I still have **many Rivers to cross**,  when the steem dollars and steem is coming/crashing down in the coin market I'll plug in this same song telling myself it's not yet over.

<center>**This song touches every aspect of me anytime any day**</center>
