The Broadcast

(Verse 1) The river keeps what the world forgets Every hand, every name, every breath Steel and water, bone and song All moving south, all moving on (Verse 2) There’s a place where the night gets thin Where the past leans close to listen in You don’t call, you don’t command You open space, you take their hand (Chorus) If you hear more than one voice tonight That’s the river remembering right Not alone, never alone You’re just walking borrowed ground (Verse 3) Footsteps echo where no one stands Old work songs in modern hands What was lost was never gone It waits in time, it waits in song (Bridge – spoken, almost whispered) They are not here to frighten you They are here to witness To remember with you To walk beside you until the light returns (Final Chorus) If the music feels crowded tonight Let it be, don’t turn away The river remembers everyone And it remembers you (Outro – repeated softly, fading) Remember… Remember… Remember…
