Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I woke up tired
Dust on my shoes
Mama said, baby
You got your own blues
Tin cup on the table
Bread gone hard
Still I thank that morning
For another yard
[Pre-Chorus]
I bend, I rise
I bend, I rise
The dark can knock
But it can't make me hide
[Chorus]
River in my bones
(oh river in my bones)
River in my bones
I keep moving on
River in my bones
(keep moving on)
River in my bones
The ache makes me strong
[Verse 2]
Bus stop crowded
Palm to the sun
Old men laughing
Saying pain don't run
I lost my calling
Then I found my name
In a red-dirt prayer
And a fire in the flame
[Pre-Chorus]
I bend, I rise
I bend, I rise
The storm can shout
But it can't own my eyes
[Chorus]
River in my bones
(oh river in my bones)
River in my bones
I keep moving on
River in my bones
(keep moving on)
River in my bones
The ache makes me strong
[Bridge]
If I fall low
Lift me up slow
If my hands shake
Still let mercy show
Call my people
Let the choir sing
From the broken ground
We still praise the King
[Chorus]
River in my bones
(oh river in my bones)
River in my bones
I keep moving on
River in my bones
(keep moving on)
River in my bones
The ache makes me strong
