The Hidden River

Original folk song about love, loss, time, home, and hope. Lyrics by 2nd Cup. Music created with AI tools. The Hidden River Lay your hand On the rough brown skin Close your eyes Let the quiet in There’s a river inside this tree Where your eyes can’t see Running under your palm Climbing up through the green There’s a river in the middle of the trunk I promise you From the spreading roots To the smallest leaf above You can’t see the water But you feel it shining through Sit down by the bark And hear it roll I promise you Down in the dirt Where the stones sleep tight Tiny mouths drink In the early light Every drop, every grain Takes a slow, slow ride Rising straight like a song To the sun outside Lean your back to the wood Feel the waves in your spine Hear that hush, that rush Keeping time There’s a river in the middle of the trunk I promise you From the spreading roots To the smallest leaf above You can’t see the water But you feel it shining through Sit down by the bark And hear it roll I promise you
