River Running

Verse 1

Dust on my boots from the long red road

Rhythm in my chest like a distant drum

Every sunset steals another load

But I keep walking till the morning comes

Pre-Chorus

Hold it close when the night gets tall

Feel it burn when you start to fall

That tiny flame that won't let go

The only thing I've ever known

Chorus

Hope like a river running dry still finds a way

Hope like a prayer you whisper when there's nothing left to say

Through the mud and the miles

Through the doubt and the trials

Hope like a lantern swinging in the wind won't fade away

Post-Chorus

Won't fade away

Won't fade away

Verse 2

Matunda ya jua still grow from the sand

Sweat on my collar and a song on my tongue

Two left feet but I still dance

Long as the beat keeps beating on and on

Pre-Chorus

Feel the ground shake under your shoes

Let the sorrow sing its blues

Turn the ache into a sound

Let it lift you off the ground

Chorus

Hope like a river running dry still finds a way

Hope like a prayer you whisper when there's nothing left to say

Through the mud and the miles

Through the doubt and the trials

Hope like a lantern swinging in the wind won't fade away

Bridge

I've seen the desert bloom with rain

I've watched the sun rise after pain

One breath more is all it takes

One more step beyond the break

Drop

Feel the drums

Feel the drums

Feel the drums

Feel the drums

Chorus

Hope like a river running dry still finds a way

Hope like a prayer you whisper when there's nothing left to say

Through the mud and the miles

Through the doubt and the trials

Hope like a lantern swinging in the wind won't fade away
