Soulfire Vein

In the midnight hour where the heartbeats sway Hoops run deep like the Mississippi's vein African whispers and the rhythms call Blues born from the friars standing tall Soulful cries that echo through the night Grooves that pull you close, hold you tight Every note a story, raw and real Healing wounds that time can't conceal Low rhythm and blues, you move my soul Smooth melodies that make me whole Emotional waves crashing in my chest Vocal fire putting pain to rest From the cotton fields to the neon glow You're the heartbeat of the ones we know R&B, my endless love, my truth Forever you Bass lines thump like a lover sigh Drums syncopate with tears we cry Keyboards whisper secrets soft and low Electric strings where the wild winds blow Horns rise up like a morning prayer Intimate confessions in the air Sensual sway, romantic and profound Melancholy magic all around Low rhythm and blues, you move my soul Smooth melodies that make me whole Emotional waves crashing in my chest Vocal fire putting pain to rest From the cotton fields to the neon glow You're the heartbeat of the ones we know R&B, my endless love, my truth Forever you Ooh Polished grooves in the velvet darkness Vocal centric spark igniting the spark Neo soul rise at Motown's gentle hum Funk in the veins where the spirits come No chains can hold this timeless flow From 40's lamplight to the afterglow You're the expression of the unseen fight United States born, shining bright Low rhythm and blues, you move my soul Smooth melodies that make me whole Emotional waves crashing in my chest Vocal fire putting pain to rest R&B, my endless love, my truth All my truth Dancing in the shadows Forever you
