[Intro] Morning on the river Sand under my feet One sweet road ahead of me Calling me back to deep [Verse 1] Mama left a kettle on Steam up by the door I tied my laces slow and tight Then I stepped outside for more The mango tree was dripping gold Birds on the fence were loud I took my heart and held it close And walked before the crowd [Pre-Chorus] Oh, the day can bend me Oh, the wind can turn But I know where my feet go I know where my fire burns [Verse 2] Old man by the corner shop Waved me with a grin Said, "Carry light, but carry truth Let the good day in" He had a shell around his neck And dust on his blue shirt sleeve I bought a pear and broke it open Took what I could believe [Break] Hey now Move slow Easy body Easy soul [Pre-Chorus] Oh, the day can bend me Oh, the wind can turn But I know where my feet go I know where my fire burns [Chorus] River walk home River walk home I keep my heart in time River walk home River walk home I never leave behind [Bridge] When the rain comes hard and fast I do not run away I let it wash the salt from me And greet another day If the road gets thin and rough I still can hear that call A steady voice inside my chest That holds me through it all [Solo] [Instrumental] [Break] Bassline rolling Feet stay light One love rising Through the night [Verse 3] Sister at the laundry line Singing with a broom Clothes were turning in the sun Bright as a room She laughed and said my face looked new Like I’d slept for years I told her, "No, I just woke up And left behind my fears" [Pre-Chorus] Oh, the day can bend me Oh, the wind can turn But I know where my feet go I know where my fire burns [Chorus] River walk home River walk home I keep my heart in time River walk home River walk home I never leave behind [Verse 4] Evening laying long and soft Gold on the window glass Kids were kicking at a stone Watching shadows pass I heard my name in a distant yard Sweet like a borrowed song I smiled at every single face And knew I had belonged [Break] Hey now Move slow Easy body Easy soul [Bridge] If tomorrow calls me far I’ll still remember this Bread in hand and dust on boots And the peace in every kiss No chain can hold a singing heart No storm can break that door I came from there, I’ll go there still And love it even more [Chorus] River walk home River walk home I keep my heart in time River walk home River walk home I never leave behind [Solo] [Instrumental] [Break] Bassline rolling Feet stay light One love rising Through the night [Bridge] River in my blood again River in my bones Every path I take will lead To where the spirit grows [Pre-Chorus] Oh, the day can bend me Oh, the wind can turn But I know where my feet go I know where my fire burns [Outro] River walk home River walk home Easy, easy now River walk home
