[Verse]
The plow cracks dry in morning's haze
A whistle echoes through the maze
Of cornfields burnt and hearts undone
The weary life has just begun

[Verse]
The river hums in silver tones
Through stones it carves
Through flesh and bones
A song unsung yet always known
A place we left
But once called home

[Chorus]
Oh
Broken waves upon the soul
They crash and tear but make us whole
Through valleys deep and skies so wide
We carry loss with wearied stride

[Verse]
The lantern's glow leaks through the pain
A trembling hand
A fraying chain
The echoes of the blue jay's call
Remembering the rise and fall

[Bridge]
A shadow moves where love once lay
The glow of dusk begins to fray
But hearts that ache can stitch again
Through songs that heal what woes have been

[Chorus]
Oh
Broken waves upon the soul
They stagger proud
They take their toll
Through lands unknown
We’ll find our grace
And plant new roots in time's embrace
