Jenee Halstead: Listen
The River Grace
I’ve walked this path, I’ve seen the fires They rage through nightfall, cloud the stars Felt the sorrow in my bones That it shakes me awake at night, it won’t leave me alone I do it all to walk the river Grace I do it all to walk near Grace I know these days are hard I’ve seen the battles, dressed the scars And my tears don’t fall like rain They burn slow and hot, don’t ease the pain I do it all to walk the river Grace I do it all to walk near Grace The sirens are calling, there sweet songs lulling me on Two more miles to go, embrace the undertow Take me home, to take me home My lover died half a man His feet in the water, his heart in my hand These banks now hold the tears I’ve cried A lonely ghost now haunts the riverside I do it all to walk the River Grace I do it all to walk near Grace I risk it all to walk the River Grace I do it all to walk near Grace
