Avery Lake - The River's Vow Lyrics

In the whisper of the cottonwood
By the river running wild
Two hearts stand where life begins
Beneath the endless skies
Through the prairie's boundless yearning
Where the earth meets heaven's face
Life weaves its thread through toil and tears
But here, love finds its place
The wind may howl, the storm may rise
And shadows stretch their weight
But your hand in mine, a light remains
Through every twist of fate
Oh, the river bends, the seasons flow
And still, our roots will grow
Through endless struggles, joy we vow
Together, we are stronger now
The barn's adorned with wildflower wreaths
The air is thick with song
Families gather, faces worn
Yet here, we all belong
The dance floor creaks, the fiddle hums
As stories pass in time
Through weary eyes, the future glows
A sacred, quiet sign
For life is but a fleeting stream
With rocks to break the flow
Yet love, the bridge, the steadfast beam
That lets the waters go
We won't escape the trials of time
Or storms that test the bough
But here we stand, in sacred trust
And make the river's vow
Oh, the river bends, the seasons flow
And still, our roots will grow
Through endless struggles, joy we vow
Together, we are stronger now
When snow descends and blankets fall
And silence grips the land
We'll kindle fire against the dark
With hearts that understand
No perfect road, no promised ease
But this, I know, is true
The journey's worth the jagged climb
Because I walk with you
In the whisper of the cottonwood
By the river running wild
We've made our vow where life begins
Beneath the endless skies
