River Run Anthem

I spent too long running down somebody else’s road,

Carrying a weight that I was never meant to hold.

Lost my way somewhere between the should and the could,

Forgot the girl I was,

forgot what felt good.

Then I heard that river calling through the trees,

Felt that wild wind blowing right through me.

I grabbed my boots,

my bow, my old fishing pole,

And somewhere out there,

I found my soul.

Now the sun comes up,

and I breathe it in,

Out where the wild things remind me who I am.

I found myself out in the wild,

With a little dirt and a country mile.

Chasing that sunrise, following that stream,

Living a life that finally feels like me.

With a rifle in the woods and a line in the water,

Moonlight shining like it knows my name.

I got lost, but I found my way,

Back to the woman I was born to be.

Yeah, nature set me free— And now I’m right where I belong.

There’s a bass boat rocking on a Saturday morning,

Coffee in my cup and the whole world calling.

A deer track waiting underneath those pines,

And a little bit of peace I couldn't buy for a dime.

I don't need a crowd telling me who to be,

I found my kind of church underneath these trees.

Every trail, every river,

every star-filled sky

Feels like a piece of me coming back to life.

Now I laugh a little louder,

I stand a little tall,

Turns out losing everything

helped me find it all.

Maybe I had to lose myself To hear that calling deep inside.

Maybe the wilderness knew my name

Before I ever realized.

Now I don't apologize For the wild that's in my soul.

I was never meant to fit that mold— I was meant to

roam.

I found myself out in the wild,

With a little dirt and a country mile.

Chasing that sunrise, living untamed,

Letting that wild wind wash away the pain.

With my boots on the ground and my heart wide open,

Fishing at dusk underneath a painted sky.

I got lost, but I found my way,

And girl, I’m finally alive.

Yeah, I found my freedom— I found my fire— I found the

woman I was born to be.

So let that river run,

Let that campfire burn,

Let the wild remind me

Of everything I’ve learned.

I lost myself…

Then I found me.

Out here in the wild—

Where I’m finally free.
