LYRICS:
I've been gone twenty years, maybe more than that
Chasing something I couldn't name in the concrete habitat
Of cities that don't care if you live or if you die
They just watch you disappear with a cold and hollow eye
I climbed their ladders, I played their games
Learned to whisper different truths to different names
Became a man of mirrors, reflecting what they wanted to see
Till I forgot the shape of the man I used to be
Then one night in a bar in a town I can't recall
I heard a voice like river stones, felt a familiar call
A song my mother sang when the world was made of light
And I knew right then I had to go back home tonight
[Chorus]
I'm going back to WHERE THE RIVERS REMEMBER my name
Where the mountains don't care about your fortune or your fame
Where the trees have roots deeper than your shame
And the soil will receive you, broken or the same
I'm going home to where the rivers remember
Where the silence sounds like forever
[Verse 2]
The highway stretched like a black snake through the dying of the day
I passed the exits to the lives I threw away
The woman who could've loved me if I'd known how to stay
The child I never held, the words I never got to say
Every mile was a confession, every signpost was a sin
Every truck stop mirror showed a stranger looking in
With borrowed eyes and rented smile and clothes that weren't his own
A collection of adaptations, a kingdom with no throne
And I wondered if they'd know me, the hills I left behind
Or if I'd just be another ghost in a world gone blind
To the blood that's in the ground there, to the bones beneath the clay
Just another tourist passing through at the end of the day
[Bridge - The Baptism]
I pulled off the main road where the pavement turns to dirt
Felt something in my chest where the hope had started to hurt
I walked down to the river where I learned to swim and fish
Where my father taught me that a promise is a sacred dish
You serve with your whole being, you eat with your whole soul
And if you break it, you break yourself, you're no longer whole
I took off my city shoes, I waded in the cold
Felt the water bite my skin like it did when I was bold
And young and stupid and alive and sure of what I was
Before the world taught me to doubt, to measure, and to buzz
With anxious energy and performance and pretend
I let the river take me, I let the current bend
Me back into the shape I was before I learned to bend
For anyone or anything that wasn't this - this END
Of searching, this beginning of simply being here
And I opened my mouth and let the water wash the fear
[Chorus - Transformed]
I AM HOME where the rivers remember my name
Where the mountains don't care about my fortune or my fame
Where the trees have roots deeper than my shame
And the soil receives me, broken but the same
I am home where the rivers remember
Where the silence sounds like forever
[Final Verse]
I climbed the hill to the house where the roof has fallen in
Where the porch swing hangs by one chain in the wind
The barn is just a memory, the fields have gone to weed
But the well still holds the water that I used to need
I sat down on the foundation, that square of broken stone
And felt something rise up in me that I've never known
Or maybe always known but buried under years of noise
The simple, brutal truth that silence still employs:
That nothing that you build out there will ever be as real
As the ground that holds your ancestors, the ground that lets you feel
The continuity of blood, of struggle, of the land
The passing of the torch from calloused hand to calloused hand
And I may be the last one, the final drop of rain
In a river that's been running since before there was pain
But I'm here, and I'm breathing, and I'm standing on the bones
Of everyone who made me, and I'm not alone
[Outro - The Prayer]
Single acoustic guitar, one chord held and released.
Sound of wind through tall grass.
River flowing, distant and constant.
I'll stay here a while...
Let the quiet teach me how to die...
Or how to live...
One last time...
