Shenandoah (Across the River)

The river calls my name tonight
Through silver winds and fading light
I hear your voice beyond the tide
A whisper lost, but still alive

No chains can hold the dream I chase
Your shadow fades, but not your grace

Shenandoah — I’m crossing over
Through the storm and through the fire
Every wave will take me closer
To the place where hearts don’t tire

The road was long, the night was cold
But in my hands, the flame still glows
I leave the shore, I face the deep
The memories are mine to keep

I hear your song across the sea
It breaks the walls inside of me

Shenandoah — I’m crossing over
Through the storm and through the fire
Every wave will take me closer
To the place where hearts don’t tire

No return, no turning back
All I lost, I won’t regret
Let the river wash my pain
I will rise again

Shenandoah — the night is ending
Now the dawn is burning wide
Every wave becomes a blessing
On the river of my life

Shenandoah… I’m home again…
