[Verse 1] There’s a river that runs through all that I’ve been, It carries the echoes of where I began. And the past is the current that pulls at my feet, But I’ve learned not to fight what I cannot keep. [Pre-Chorus] I can’t sail the waters that have already gone, And the future’s a tide that just rolls on and on. [Chorus] So I’ll stand on the shore where the sunlight gleams, Not lost in the dark or chasing dreams. The peace I seek was never before — It’s here, it’s now, on the river’s shore. [Verse 2] I’ve stared at horizons that never came true, Built castles in clouds, and I’ve waited too. The wind it keeps whispering, “Be still, my friend, The moment you have is the one to defend.” [Pre-Chorus] Yesterday’s gone, and tomorrow’s unknown, But this breath is the only one carved in stone. [Chorus] So I’ll stand on the shore where the sunlight gleams, Not lost in the dark or chasing dreams. The peace I seek was never before — It’s here, it’s now, on the river’s shore. [Bridge - harmonies and light strings rise gently] Time will flow — let it go, let it go, Don’t hold the rain or the falling snow. The river moves, but I’ll stay still, Peace is not a wish — it’s a will. [Final Chorus - quiet, serene, like sunrise] So I’ll stand on the shore where the sunlight gleams, Not bound to the past or chasing schemes. The peace I seek is nothing more — Than living now… on the river’s shore. [Outro - guitar fades, soft harmony] Mmm… living now… on the river’s shore.
