lyrics

this life for me is hard cause i'm living in the dark but even if i find the switch things might never change
i can read all the books and pray all my thoughts but i'm still down here and you're up there

if you look close
you'll see a river in my soul
it's leading me upstream to where i'm loved

so do it now i am ready
to get out

all my life has come down to this one day where i get to stare in face all of my regrets
but i wouldn't change a thing because in all that i've seen i've seen your hand working in me to restore the pain

if you look close
you'll see a river in my soul
it's leading me upstream to where i'm loved

and you the world could end today
but you will see in my face
the look of a man who is not afraid of his home

so do it now i am ready
to get out

this skin has become all that i know i'm afraid that it has won and stolen my hope
you walked around in all that i'm bound in and as it took one to make me sin it took one to save

I am ready
I am ready to go home

Texas singer-songwriter David Ramirez does so beautifully…” — NPR Music ... more
