Riverbone

I've been walking through the dust
Of every mile I didn’t choose
Carrying the weight of words
That time refused to use
But the road keeps breathing slow
Underneath my wounded feet
And the fire in my chest
Never learned to taste defeat

I've been staring down the night
As it leans against my spine
Hearing echoes of a man
I swore would never cross the line
But the wind keeps pulling me
Toward a place I’ve never seen
And the shadows on my back
Burn like gasoline

I'm not lost
I'm just not done

Riverbone, carry me slow
Through the thunder in my blood
Through the fire where I grow
Riverbone, let it all flow
I'm alive in the breaking
I'm alive when I let go

I’ve been chasing down the truth
Like a flame beneath the rain
Letting every scar I kept
Teach me how to rise again
And the voice inside my chest
Keeps on calling out my name
Telling me that the fall
And the climb are just the same

I'm not done
I'm just reborn

Riverbone, carry me slow
Through the thunder in my blood
Through the fire where I grow
Riverbone, let it all flow
I'm alive in the breaking
I'm alive when I let go

And if the sky falls down tonight
I’ll walk beneath it unafraid
I’ve been carved by every mile
I'm the man I finally made

Riverbone, carry me slow
Through the thunder in my blood
Through the fire where I grow
Riverbone, let it all flow
I'm alive in the breaking
I'm alive when I let go
I let go
