The official audio for "The Creek Runs Through It" by Songbird Creek.



LYRICS

Grandpa settled on the eastern bank In nineteen-forty-four He built a life with calloused hands And an open kitchen door He told me, "Son, the world might change And the city lights might glow But there’s a truth in the moving stream That the restless never know."

And the creek runs through it, deep and wide Carrying the secrets we used to hide From the mountain high to the valley floor It’s been here a thousand years or more Through the dust and rain, through the thick and thin It’s where I end and where I begin Yeah, the creek runs through it... always.

I take my boots to the water’s edge When the world gets way too loud I leave the noise of the highway line And the shadows of the crowd The same silver ripples, the same ancient stones Like a hummin' hymn inside my bones It’s a bloodline flowing, cold and clear Everything I love is right here.

And the creek runs through it, deep and wide Carrying the secrets we used to hide From the mountain high to the valley floor It’s been here a thousand years or more Through the dust and rain, through the thick and thin It’s where I end and where I begin Yeah, the creek runs through it... always.

It’s more than water, it’s more than land It’s the grain of time in a working man’s hand It’s the song of the bird, it’s the bend in the road It’s the only place I call my home!

Still running... Still flowing... Yeah, the Songbird Creek keeps on going.
