Prompt / Lyrics
[Verse 1] Bare feet on the gravel Old pier Fading paint You laugh Toss a stone in Say "Tell it what you ain't" Wild ripples doing circles Chasing sunlight in a spin I breathe in that quiet Feel it settle on my skin [Chorus] Wild ripples on a wide Slow river That's my kind of peace My kind of prayer You lean on my shoulder I just shiver Like every small wave washing off my cares Yeah This river is beautiful And I'm finally still again Wild ripples on the water Got me feeling zen [Verse 2] Radio low in the background Old song I halfway know You hum along the chorus Let the soft breeze blow Geese cutting through the distance Barn roof catching gold Time moves like that current Easy Sure And slow [Chorus] Wild ripples on a wide Slow river That's my kind of peace My kind of prayer You lean on my shoulder I just shiver Like every small wave washing off my cares Yeah This river is beautiful And I'm finally still again Wild ripples on the water Got me feeling zen [Bridge] Maybe I don't need the highway Or some far-off Shiny town When this muddy little heaven Keeps on calming every doubt (oh yeah) [Chorus] Wild ripples on a wide Slow river That's my kind of peace My kind of prayer You lean on my shoulder I just shiver Like every small wave washing off my cares Yeah This river is beautiful With you My heart My friend Wild ripples on the water Got me feeling zen
