So you find yourself awaking
in the current of your life
rising from the darkness
making for the light
a river courses through your blood
the water holds you tight
let her ripples swaddle you
and rock you through the night
Find your feet and go one more time
for these seeds you’ll sow in a broken line
dreams you carry pray grow
pass your love
pass your way
down the line
down the line
River stones painted bones
minnows float and swim
crystal drops of sparkling water
soak into your skin
sun and shadows mix with
the cold springs that flow
then you lay on the rocks
let them warm you from below
Find your feet and go one more time
for these seeds you’ll sow in a broken line
dreams you carry pray grow
pass your love
pass your way
down the line
down the line
Take the drum you painted
as a child I did not know
play the song you started
so many years ago
feel the rhythm of the saints
as they go marching in
with the wisdom of the water
and the howling of the wind
Find your feet and go one more time
for these seeds you’ll sow in a broken line
dreams you carry pray will grow
pass your love
pass your way
down the line
down the line ~
