Intro
Mm…
Like a river rollin’ slow…
Verse 1
I walk by the river where the moonlight gleam,
Tryna wash away a broken dream.
I never meant for the night to turn cold,
But a heavy heart can lose control.
Every smile I wear feels thin,
‘Cause I know what I did back then.
The wind still whispers your name to me,
Like the truth don’t wanna set me free.
Pre-Chorus
In this world of love and pain,
Every soul must face what it became.
Chorus
Oh, I’m driftin’ in a river of regret,
Tryna forget what I can’t forget.
One wrong moment, one cruel tide,
Now your spirit walks by my side.
I sing for peace, I pray for light,
But the past still sings at night.
Verse 2
I see your face in the morning sun,
Like a song that never done.
People smile, life moves on,
But inside me you still gone.
I tell myself Jah knows my heart,
Knows how fear pulled me apart.
But forgiveness is a long, long road,
When you carry such a heavy load.
Pre-Chorus
The earth keeps turnin’ round and round,
But my soul still hears that sound.
Chorus
Oh, I’m driftin’ in a river of regret,
Tryna forget what I can’t forget.
One wrong moment, one cruel tide,
Now your spirit walks by my side.
I sing for peace, I pray for light,
But the past still sings at night.
Bridge (raga-style, floating)
Om… let the pain go,
Let the heart know…
Every soul must heal someday.
Verse 3
If I could trade my breath for yours,
I’d open up a thousand doors.
But time don’t turn, it only flow,
Like a reggae rhythm soft and slow.
So I sing this truth into the air,
Hoping love can meet me there.
Maybe mercy will find my way,
When I face what I did that day.
Final Chorus
Oh, I’m driftin’ in a river of regret,
But I still got faith I ain’t lost yet.
Through the smoke, through the tears,
I still hear your voice so clear.
May your soul find peace and rest,
While I learn to live with what’s left.
Outro
Mm…
One love… even through the pain.
