lyrics

When I was young, I watched the sun move across the fields
Wanted one day to find where it went behind them hills
Come to learn it never is meant to be found
Just a way for us to break free of how we think we’re bound

Take me down to the river
So, these shackles can be released
The freeing is in forgiving
Let the water turn the key

I tread lightly to lose the steps from yesteryear
They still stomp loudly at times they’re all I ever hear
Coming up beside me forming ghosts of what might have been
they question my direction when they whisper in the wind

Take me down to the river
Where these shadows have no host
The seeing is in forgiving
Let the light cast away these ghosts

you can't drive a dream down a road with regret
it only goes round and round
Let mercy carry all of that weight
so the life that is to be lived can start now

A firm forward focus reconciled with no longer looking back
Though bruised and battered from the battles
that tried to knock me off my path
I have trained myself and for this I’m prepared to bleed
To make what’s behind my eyes the vision in front of me

Take me down to the river
Before these wounds scar and stain
The healing is in forgiving
Let the water wash the blood away
