Riverside

I’m gonna lay down my burdens
Down by the riverside
Like the ancestors
Enjoy this spiritual ride
Smooth sailing from now on
Rough currents will come
In the winds, I will confide
A place where peace and sovereignty collide
Swimming through this thing called life
Whispers of strength from the waters are my guide
Negative energy occupied
Positive vibes certified
Hope blows in the air
Every breath Bonafide
Nautical I stride
I’m gonna lay down my burdens 
Down by the riverside
