lyrics

When I can’t sleep my demons come
Keep me awake, wait on the sun
I am tired of ways long passed
They linger here I won’t back, I won’t go back

I traveled roads to hear my soul
Heal the years that took a toll
I found hope in wandering with
The company of living gifts

River called told me to come
Mark the close of all we’d done
Body cold, feel the pain
Feel alive, feel again

I shake the sleeping self
Let memories take hold
Hand on my head
A blessing said
Now go
I rise from the river awake
I won’t forget what the water gave

Deep within a holy place
Held safe is a space
Where I go when I drift
I breathe deep the river’s gift
Still I feel that full embrace
How I widened and how I changed

I shake the sleeping self
Let memories take hold
Hand on my head
A blessing said
Now go
I rise from the river awake
I won’t forget what the water gave

I shake the sleeping self
Let memories take hold
Hand on my head
A blessing said
Now go
I rise from the river awake
I won’t forget what the water gave
