Take me to the River

Intro

I woke up with shadows crawling over my skin,

Empty bottles, broken promises, where do I begin?

My hands are shaking, heart’s racing, I’m lost in the haze,

But I hear a whisper, telling me I can change.

Verse

Every night’s a battle, every day’s a war,

I’m tired of the craving, don’t wanna hurt anymore.

I see my reflection, it’s not who I am,

But hope keeps on knocking, so I’ll try again.

Chorus

Take me to the river, wash away my pain,

Let the water carry all my yesterdays.

I’m searching for forgiveness, I’m reaching for the sun,

I wanna be the person I was when this all begun.

Verse

I’m writing letters to the me I used to know,

Promising tomorrow, I won’t let go.

I stumble, I falter, but I’m not alone,

There’s a light in the distance, calling me home.

Chorus

Take me to the river, wash away my pain,

Let the water carry all my yesterdays.

I’m searching for forgiveness, I’m reaching for the sun,

I wanna be the person I was when this all begun.

Outro

So here’s my prayer, whispered in the dark,

Give me the strength to heal my heart.

I’m breaking the cycle, I’m starting anew,

With every sunrise, I’m coming back to you.
