River of Peace

I walked these roads When they were dirt and stone. Buried three sons Before they were grown. The fever took them In the summer heat. I dug those graves with my own two Feet. Some nights I hear them calling from the ground. But morning comes, and there's no Sound. There's a river Running through my broken soul. Washing over Everything I can't control. I'm wading deeper Where the current's strong. Looking for the place where I belong. My father died With anger in his eyes. Never said he loved me, Never tried. I swore I'd be A different kind of man. But I still feel his fist inside my Head. The weight of generations bears me down. But something's lifting me up from the Ground. There's a river Running through my broken soul. Washing over Everything I can't control. I'm wading deeper where the Current's strong. Looking for the place where I Belong. I don't know if there's forgiveness for a man Like me. Who failed the ones who needed him most desperately. But I'm standing in the water anyway. Hoping it Will carry me away. There's a river Running through my broken soul. Washing over Everything I can't control. I'm wading deeper, Lord, the current's strong. Maybe this is where I've been all along. The river keeps on flowing. And I keep on going. The river keeps on Flowing.
