Show Me the River
Journey Home: Love, Redemption, and the River's Call
Lyrics
I've been a traveler of far away lands
I have traveled extensively to distant places.
I've got love on my mind, but death on these hands
While love occupies my thoughts, the specter of death is ever-present in my actions.
Come homeward angel, show me the way
Calling for guidance from a benevolent figure, an angel, to lead me back home.
Or will fate leave me dead in the tracks where I lay
Contemplating whether fate will leave me stranded and lifeless where I currently find myself.
Show me the river that leads to my home
Expressing a desire to discover the river that will guide me back to my home.
Back to the one that I love
Returning to the one I love, seeking a path back to them.
Show me the wind that constantly blows
Asking to be shown the wind that consistently blows, possibly symbolizing the way forward.
And I will fly away, fly away home
Committing to flying away home once the direction is revealed.
Since we were parted I know I have changed
Acknowledging personal transformation since being separated from a loved one.
You'll see the blood that was shed in the lines on my face
Physical evidence of the hardships endured, expressed through the lines on the face.
But now that I've turned my back on the fight
Having turned away from a struggle or conflict.
I'm gonna steal back my life like a thief in the night
Determined to reclaim life, drawing a parallel to a thief reclaiming stolen goods in the night.
chorus
Chorus - Likely a repeated section or a pivotal point in the song.
I come to you through fire and snow
Describing the arduous journey, overcoming challenges like fire and snow.
Over high rolling hills and the valleys below
Navigating through varied terrains, including high hills and valleys.
With all that I've suffered I'm still on this road
Despite enduring hardships, still persisting on the journey.
And if I hold you again will never let go.
If reunited, expressing an unwavering commitment to never let go again.
