River of Regret

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.
