Across The Bloody River

Are you there?

The tide is coming in

But I’ll cross it

For you

Let me hear your voice

I’m at the river’s edge

My foot

Then my leg

The current is strong

And now I’m wading

Through the sins

Of my past

There’s something sharp

Snapping

Below the water

But I can’t see

Then the river turns red

Are you there?

On the other side

Cause I can take the pain

If you’re waiting

With your arms open wide

The tide is getting stronger

And the pain is

Worse

As I cross

The bloody river

It rises

To my chest

And it’s nearly over

My head

I’m drowning

Then my hand grasps

At dirt

The river’s edge

I pull myself out

But I still can’t hear you

Baby, I’m here

I crossed the bloody river

Through the thick brush

I push through

Where are you?

On the other side

I see a clearing

And I hope its you

But it’s another river

I hang my head

And I cross it

Until it turns red

I can’t hear your voice

But I’ll keep searching

Across the bloody rivers

Through the sins

Of my past
