River Over Troubled Water

[Verse 1]
When your day runs out of color
And your name’s lost in the crowd
When you’re staring at the ceiling
’Cause your head’s too loud
If your faith feels paper-thin
And your hands just fall apart
I’ll be right there in the doorway
With a light and an open heart
[Chorus]
I’ll be your river over troubled water
Pull you in close
Let the waves roll by
Lay down your worry on my shoulder
I’ll carry the weight
I won’t ask why
I’ll be your river over troubled water
Calm in the crash
In the hardest night
Stay in my arms ’til the storm runs out
I’ll be your river over troubled water tonight
[Verse 2]
When you’re walking through the ruins
Of a plan that came undone
And you’re tired of being brave
’Cause the battle’s never won
If your voice starts getting smaller
From the words you never say
I’ll be sitting at your bedside
Till the dark slips into day
[Chorus]
I’ll be your river over troubled water
Pull you in close
Let the waves roll by
Lay down your worry on my shoulder
I’ll carry the weight
I won’t ask why
I’ll be your river over troubled water
Calm in the crash
In the hardest night
Stay in my arms ’til the storm runs out
I’ll be your river over troubled water tonight
[Bridge]
When you can’t find the road
I’ll trace it on your palm
Every shake
Every shiver
Held steady in my arms (oh)
If all you’ve got is one more breath
Give it here
I’ll breathe it back
Every time you think you’re falling
I’ll be where the ground is at
[Chorus]
I’ll be your river over troubled water
Pull you in close
Let the waves roll by
Lay down your worry on my shoulder
I’ll carry the weight
I won’t ask why
I’ll be your river over troubled water
Calm in the crash
In the hardest night
Stay in my arms ’til the storm runs out
I’ll be your river over troubled water tonight
