Title:
“One More River”

Full Song Lyrics:

[Verse 1]
C G Am G
Down in the valley, where the wildflowers grow,
F C G Am
There’s a river that continues to flow.
C G Am Em
I’ve crossed it before, in times of despair,
F C G C
Now it’s one more river, I’ve left to bear.

[Chorus]
Am Em F C
One more river, one more stone,
G Am F C
In this journey, I walk alone.
Am Em F C
One more sunrise, one more mile,
G Am F C
With every step, I find a reason to smile.

[Verse 2]
C G Am G
Underneath the stars, in the dead of the night,
F C G Am
I’ve found solace in the moon’s soft light.
C G Am Em
I’ve bridged many gaps, in times of fear,
F C G C
Now it’s one more river, drawing near.

[Chorus]
Am Em F C
One more river, one more stone,
G Am F C
In this journey, I walk alone.
Am Em F C
One more sunrise, one more mile,
G Am F C
With every step, I find a reason to smile.
