[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
