River On Fire
River On Fire
[Verse 1]
I came in tired
Dust on my shoes
Carrying a load
I could not lose
Door on the hinge
Floorboard song
You said my name
And held me strong
[Pre-Chorus]
Now my hands lift high
My knees let go
I can feel that mercy
In my bones
[Chorus]
Lift me up
Lift me up
(hold me up)
Lift me up
You turn my scars
Into song
You bring me back
Where I belong
Lift me up
Lift me up
(hold me up)
Lift me up
[Verse 2]
My house was quiet
My heart was stone
You brought the wind
And made it home
Ash on my tongue
Chain on my prayer
You split that night
And met me there
[Pre-Chorus]
Now my hands lift high
My knees let go
I can feel that mercy
In my bones
[Chorus]
Lift me up
Lift me up
(hold me up)
Lift me up
You turn my scars
Into song
You bring me back
Where I belong
Lift me up
Lift me up
(hold me up)
Lift me up
[Bridge]
When the floor gives way
You do not fall
When I lose my voice
You still hear it all
When the dark comes close
You burn it through
I was barely here
Now I'm standing new
[Break]
Oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh
[Final Chorus]
Lift me up
Lift me up
(hold me up)
Lift me up
You turn my scars
Into song
You bring me back
Where I belong
Lift me up
Lift me up
(hold me up)
Lift me up
Lift me up
Lift me up
(hold me up)
Lift me up
