River Saints

The river rolled beneath cracked earth late tonight
Like silver veins beneath the moonlight
I walked alone beside the water slow
Tryna let the darkness go

I spent years building walls around my soul
Like fear was all I had to hold
Every prayer I whispered to the sky
Felt dry

There were deserts living deep inside my chest
Places that never found rest
And every road I wandered through alone
Still felt like home

Now the river moves beneath my skin
Like the light is pouring in
Every heartbeat starts to rise with the tide

River saints beneath the storm
Keeping every fire warm
Every broken part of me still believes

River saints against the night
Turning darkness into light
Every lonely one I know starts to grow

On and on

Now the silence feels less hard to bear
Like redemption fills the air
Every scar beneath my skin
Let's light in

Maybe mercy moves just like a flood
Through the ruins and the mud
And every place I thought was dead
Still breathes again

Now the morning floods the plains
Like grace after the rain
Every heartbeat starts to know it can grow

River saints beneath the storm
Keeping every fire warm
Every broken part of me still believes

River saints against the night
Turning darkness into light
Every lonely wound I know starts to glow

If the water shapes the stone
Maybe paint can shape the soul
Every desert scar made us who we are

There is healing in the flood
In surrendering enough
Every shadow fades away with the day

Now the sunrise floods the hills
And the silence finally heals
Every fear I carried long made me strong

River saints beneath the storm
Keeping every fire warm
Every broken part of me believes

River saints against the night
Every lonely one I know starts to glow
