[Intro] [A bright, ambient synth pad with a gentle, chiming melody begins. A soft, flowing sound, like a clear river, is heard in the background. The mood is serene and hopeful.] [Verse 1] From a shattered gate, a new path flows, a current clear as glass. Through ancient stones where no one goes, a future from the past. It waters trees of perfect light, with leaves that never fall, A living fruit for day and night, an answer to the call. [Chorus] [The music swells, drums and a melodic, clean electric guitar enter. The vocals are full of reverence and wonder.] In the River's Garden, where a living current runs, No sun or lamp is ever needed here, by moons or fading suns. The soil is made of perfect trust, a healing for all pain, A final home for wandering hearts, to be reborn again. [Verse 2] [The music becomes more rhythmic and confident, as the lyrics describe the inhabitants of this new place.] The weary traveler, long in fear, can wash away their sight, And find a vision clear and true, in the uncreated light. No bitter sorrow, no empty stride, no shadow in the place, Just open hands and spirits wide, held in a perfect grace. [Chorus] [The full, layered sound returns, with a rich, soaring harmony in the vocals.] In the River's Garden, where a living current runs, No sun or lamp is ever needed here, by moons or fading suns. The soil is made of perfect trust, a healing for all pain, A final home for wandering hearts, to be reborn again. [Bridge] [The music strips back to a simple, ethereal arrangement with the river sound in the foreground. The vocals are a gentle, whispered melody.] A home to come to, a place to rest. The final harvest. The ultimate test. [Outro] [The music fades slowly, leaving only the sound of the flowing river and the gentle synth pad.] ...No more crying... no more night... ...Only the River... and perfect light. [Fades to silence.]
