River's Bend

Soft Echoes is calling me back through the quiet night I remember the creek of the porch swing summer nights with fireflies dancing low mama's hands kneading dough by the window daddy's stories round the lanterns glow chase the dawn across the open fields barefoot dreams the time couldn't steal oh the heart pulls like a river's bend back to the roots where it all began and the wandering miles home sing it true city lights blinding the stars from my eyes chase the promise of fortune but the concrete grew cold under tighter feet and the laughter faded turning to gold now the wild winds whisper your name pulling threads from the life I can't claim oh the heart pulls like a river's bend back to the roots where it all began and the wandering miles home sing it true this old song carries me to you what if I turn this weary road around into a new one into a new one into a new one into a new one into a new one into a new one what if I turn this weary road around let the hustle for the meadows embrace felt the earth heal these scars I've found in the arms of family find my place no more running from the aching just the simple truth that won't be denied although oh the heart pulls like a river's bend back to the roots where it all began through the storms homes the fire that warms me up sing it soft sing it true this old song carries me to you whispers fading carries me home where I've been where I belong home where I belong where I belong home where I belong where I belong where I belong home where I belong where I belong home where I belong where I belong home where I belong where I belong home where I belong where I belong home where I belong home where I belong home where I belong home
