Lyric

I came in carrying rain

Mud on my shoes, salt on my tongue

You met me at the doorway

With a cup held steady in your hands

The room felt smaller at first

Then my shoulders learned a new shape

I was all sharp edges

You made space for the ache

Step by step, I stayed

Till my chest could breathe again

Across the river, I can still sing

Across the river, I feel my name

You turned my night into a long road home

You turned my silence into a flame

Across the river, I can still sing

The old weight tried to follow

Like wet clothes after a storm

But your voice cut through the worry

Soft as wind through cedar wood

Now every scar looks quieter

Like it found a place to rest

I was all sharp edges

You made space for the ache

Step by step, I stayed

Till my chest could breathe again

Across the river, I can still sing

Across the river, I feel my name

You turned my night into a long road home

You turned my silence into a flame

Across the river, I can still sing

If the road bends hard, I bend with it

If my hands shake, I hold on anyway

Some days the sky drags low

Still, your light gets me through the gray

Across the river, I can still sing

Across the river, I feel my name

You turned my night into a long road home

You turned my silence into a flame

Across the river, I can still sing
