crossing the river

Verse] In the land where manners reign, The Woodruffs dwell with pride and gain, Their demeanor sharp, their speech refined, A family steeped in virtues defined. [Pre-Chorus] But one fateful day, fate had its way, As they crossed the river, spirits in sway, A mishap ensued, a slip, a fall, Into the depths where shadows call. [Chorus 1] Crossing the river, under moonlit skies, Where whispers linger and secrets arise, A moment of folly, a deed to atone, In waters deep, where sins are known. [Chorus 2] The Woodruffs brave, yet hearts undone, Facing the currents where pasts are spun, Beneath the surface, where memories shiver, They seek redemption, crossing the river. [Verse] A physician esteemed, a healer's creed, Yet humbled now by the river's heed, For in the act of a simple chore, Lies a tale of grace, forevermore. [Pre-Chorus] As the waters sway, and spirits play, The Woodruffs meet those from faraway, A word is spoken, a gesture lent, In the realm where souls repent. [Chorus 1] Crossing the river, under moonlit skies, Where whispers linger and secrets arise, A moment of folly, a deed to atone, In waters deep, where sins are known. [Chorus 2] The Woodruffs brave, yet hearts undone, Facing the currents where pasts are spun, [Chorus 2] Beneath the surface, where memories shiver, They seek redemption, crossing the river. [Bridge] In the ebb and flow, where shadows dance, The Woodruffs find a second chance, To cleanse the soul, to right the wrong, In the river's hymn, they find belong. [Chorus 1] Crossing the river, under moonlit skies, Where whispers linger and secrets arise, A moment of folly, a deed to atone, In waters deep, where sins are known. [Chorus 2] The Woodruffs brave, yet hearts undone, Facing the currents where pasts are spun, Beneath the surface, where memories shiver, They seek redemption, crossing the river.
