lyrics

you are standing on the edge
of another raging river
your soul it pulled you here,
your body resists and quivers

you weren’t expecting this
you thought you’d have some time to rest before the next go
honey you can move slow

remember all those times you crossed wild raging rivers?
and how each time they all told that you’d drown
Take your shaking knees now as a good sign Em
My dear, you prayed for this when your legs were still bound (different G)

You already know you won't ignore
The voice calling from The other shore
you can't forget what you’ve seen
Or pretend it’s just a dream beyond your reach

You know you’re gonna cross
The only question is how long
You’re gonna stand upon the ground that will not hold you

I know the reeds twist around your ankles
say don’t you dare wade in
and I know the current hisses it will quicken (I’ll quicken if you try to swim)
The moment you try to swim

But you’ve heard them all before
the threats the try to keep you standing on the wrong shore
but you know they're hollow

remember all those times you crossed wild raging rivers?
and how each time they all told you you would drown
Take your shaking knees now as a good sign Em
That on this shore what you most want can’t be found

you’ve been here before
and you’ll be here again
no use questioning
if you know how to swim

Led by songwriters Morgan Bolender and Scott Ferreter, the project has developed a loyal following of diehard “Feelers" who come as much for the poetic songwriting, tight harmonies, and rich textures as they do to drop into their own tender human hearts in a space of collective radical vulnerability. ... more
