About

Gentle acoustic strumming on guitar and mandolin drives this heartfelt folk narrative, with organic male vocals weaving tales of rural longing and family roots. Simple harmonies lift the choruses amid live instrumentation like fiddle and harmonica, evoking a warm, intimate fireside gathering. Stripped-down production preserves the raw authenticity of traditional storytelling.

Lyrics

Oh, my heart Oh, it's breaking Oh, it's breaking Woke in the shadows Where your memory lingers Empty arms reaching For a love that's gone cold Streets whisper secrets Of the nights we weren't Tearing through me Oh, goodbye It goes in the silence I hope I've been down so low Can't see the morning light Praying for you Praying for a fire To burn away the night Lord, mend this broken soul it now Heal the wounds that time forgot Oh, heal me I'm rising from the ashes Redemption calling Setting my spirit free Set me free Oh, soul, fire burning Can't hold me, hold me down no more Far through the darkness Fist clenched Clenched a game in vain But deep in the struggle A spark begins to glow Faith like a river Washing the sorrow slow No more chains binding I'm breaking loose tonight Praying for the fire To ignite And I'm alive Lord, mend this broken soul it now Heal the wounds And from the ashes Redemption calling Setting my spirit free Set me free Oh, soul, fire burning Can't hold me down no more Oh, one more tear falling No, I'm done crying I'm still shattered Watch an ending flying Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
