LYRIC FOR SALE

By K&B Studios

The sky broke open on a quiet July night         
Campfires dimmed beneath the flashing light              
The Guadalupe rose like a ghost in the dark                
It took dreams and laughter, and left a heavy mark
[Chorus]               
But the river can’t steal what love has sown              
They’re etched in our hearts, not carved in stone              
Brave souls searched through the storm and foam             
To bring them back, to bring them home                  
Though the river took them, the river took them home
[Verse 2]              
Boots in the mud, hearts in their hands             
Calling out names across the broken lands           
They didn’t flinch, they didn’t flee          
They stood for love, for memory
[Verse 3]              
A child’s laugh still echoes in the hall               
Their shoes left untouched, a picture on the wall      
We light a candle at 4:03              
And whisper prayers where no one can see
[Bridge]               
And somewhere a mother clutches a charm            
A silver “M” from a summer’s calm             
Now prayers rise like the morning mist          
For every soul the river kissed
[Final Chorus]               
But the river can’t steal what love has sown               
They’re etched in our hearts, not carved in stone             
Brave souls searched through the storm and foam             
To bring them back, to bring them home                   
Though the river took them, the river took them home
