She gave you all she had
Had nothing left to give
Stained by the breath of denial
Ever since she was a kid
And the hounds are holding steady
The ones that hold her soul
Held her to a tight rope until she was left alone
So carry on, little darlin’
Go find a truth that stands
Go find a little slice of heaven
One that you can understand
And go on down to the river
Explore the ancient land
Where each stone was skipped a thousand times
Before you could even stand
There's fear in the fire
It's burning a the child
It burns so hard, she grew up fast
And she's tryna make it worthwhile
But life ain't easy
It's beating at her heart
Peeling back the sins of old
Just tryin’ to heal those scars
So carry on, little darlin’
Go find a truth that stands
Go find a little slice of heaven
One that you can understand
And go on down to the river
Explore the ancient land
Where each stone was skipped a thousand times
Before you could even stand
Oh, darlin', everyone’s at your show, honey
Everyone's breaking your home, child
Don’t go back
No more no more no more
So carry on, little darlin’
Go find a truth that stands
Go find a little slice of heaven
One that you can understand
And go on down to the river
Explore the ancient land
Where each stone was skipped a thousand times
Before you could even stand
I want you to stand, I want you to stand
