I’ve been runnin’ from the echoes of a life I used to know,
Boot prints fading on a long red road.
Wind keeps tellin’ me there’s better days ahead,
But the past rides close, whisperin’ what I left unsaid.
Pre-Chorus
And I’m tired of holdin’ on to shadows that don’t shine,
Tryin’ to turn the hurt to somethin’ I can leave behind.
Chorus
So meet me out where the river bends slow,
Where the night feels warm and the wild winds blow.
We’ll turn the pain we carried into somethin’ worth the climb—
Yeah, we’ll rise from ash & honey if you put your hand in mine.
Verse 2
You were standin’ on the porch light glowin’ in your eyes,
Sayin’ love ain’t perfect, but it’s worth the try.
We got scars that speak like pages from a worn-out book,
Every line a lesson if we’re brave enough to look.
Pre-Chorus
And the road ahead is rocky, but I know we’ll make the miles,
If you stay with me through thunder and the quiet in the trials.
Chorus
So meet me out where the river bends slow,
Where the night feels warm and the wild winds blow.
We’ll turn the pain we carried into somethin’ worth the climb—
Yeah, we’ll rise from ash & honey if you put your hand in mine.
Bridge
Maybe we were made for storms that carve the mountain tall,
Maybe love grows deeper every time we almost fall.
If the darkness tries to take us, let it try—
We’ve got fire in our hearts and the strength to stay alive.
Final Chorus
So meet me out where the river bends slow,
Where the moon paints silver on the world below.
We’ll turn the pain we carried into somethin’ worth the climb—
Yeah, we’ll rise from ash & honey, baby, one breath at a time.
