I’m wading through the river of redemption,
Where the heartache flows like whiskey down my soul,
Each drop is just a bitter reminder,
Of the love we lost and the price we pay for control.
The blues are softly singing in the shadows,
As the moonlight dances on this restless stream,
I chase the fading echoes of our laughter,
In these waters, I’m swimming in a broken dream.
With every ripple, I can hear your whispers,
Calling out to me from the deep unknown,
But the current’s got a hold on my intention,
And it pulls me further from the life we’d known.
Oh, river, wash away these endless sorrows,
Let me find my peace beneath the willow trees,
I’ll learn to swaddle all my want and wishes,
In the comfort of this sweet, slow evening breeze.
Time has turned my heart into a canvas,
Painted blue with strokes of memories adorned,
But I know that every brush can create beauty,
Even from the ashes, a new fire is born.
So I’ll keep on walking through the river’s current,
With my head held high, I won’t be drowned in pain,
I’ll gather every piece of heartache left behind me,
And build a bridge to where the sun breaks through the rain.
In the stillness of the twilight, I’ll find solace,
With the fading colors of the night on display,
Through this river of redemption, I’ll keep moving,
For in every drop, there’s a chance for a brand new day.
I’ll let go of the weight that holds me down,
And rise up from the depths, oh, can’t you see?
Through the river of redemption flows my healing,
Where the blues turn into hope, and I’m finally free.
Blues
