The River Runs #1 (Playlist – Track 3)

[Verse 1] Morning gathers silver on the lake Pine-scented air is cool against my face The valley holds the words I could not say And makes a little room for me today [Pre-Chorus] I leave the weight beside the water I take the breath the hills have given [Chorus] I am beginning, I am brave Carried by the current I once feared to face Hope is a small bright seed beneath my ribs Now every turning river teaches me to live [Verse 2] A pale sun opens through the cedar boughs The mist lets go of every distant crown I feel the ground return beneath my feet A steady heart, a road that feels complete [Pre-Chorus] No need to know the whole horizon One clear step is enough for now [Chorus] I am beginning, I am brave Carried by the current I once feared to face Hope is a small bright seed beneath my ribs Now every turning river teaches me to live [Bridge] If the water rises, I will rise If the path bends, I will turn There is fire in the quiet There is courage left to learn [Final Chorus] I am beginning, I am brave With the living current moving through my veins Hope has found a home beneath my ribs And every open morning says: begin again [Outro] The river runs, the light comes through I start with what is true
