Jenee Halstead: Listen
The River Grace
enee Halstead, Megan Peters
I’ve walked this path, I’ve seen the fires
They rage through nightfall, cloud the stars
Felt the sorrow in my bones
That it shakes me awake at night, it won’t leave me alone
I do it all to walk the river Grace
I do it all to walk near Grace
I know these days are hard
I’ve seen the battles, dressed the scars
And my tears don’t fall like rain
They burn slow and hot, don’t ease the pain
I do it all to walk the river Grace
I do it all to walk near Grace
The sirens are calling, there sweet songs lulling me on
Two more miles to go, embrace the undertow
Take me home, to take me home
My lover died half a man
His feet in the water, his heart in my hand
These banks now hold the tears I’ve cried
A lonely ghost now haunts the riverside
I do it all to walk the River Grace
I do it all to walk near Grace
I risk it all to walk the River Grace
I do it all to walk near Grace
