The Key - Madison Ryann Ward

Lyrics by：Aaron Carmack/Madison Ryann Ward

Composed by：Aaron Carmack/Madison Ryann Ward

We had it all let it fall the favor and the fortune

With another craving for distortion

By the day we find a way

Birds of a feather they fly together

And I see 'em soaring

From this boring cage hmm

But to break free has only been a dream

It's taking away all of my energy

I need a light to see so I can finally breathe

I gotta find the key

I've been searching for a peace of mind

Pride and certainty in truth I find

The soul is cold when the river's empty

So tell me

These empty bones are dead inside

Only hope keeps us alive

The road is old and it's never ending

These empty bones are dead inside

Only hope keeps us alive

But the soul is gold when the heart is healthy

See all this drinking got me thirsty

I feel me breaking I can't escape it

I can't take the shame of mercy hmm

But I'll follow what I'm searchin'

'Cause maybe it's suitable for moving on

And working through the hurting

But to break free has only been a dream

It's taking away all of my energy

I need a light to see

So I can finally find the key

I've been searching for a peace

I've been searching

Pride and certainty in truth

Soul is cold

The soul is cold when the river's empty

So tell me tell me

These empty bones are dead inside

Hmm

Only hope keeps us alive

The road is old and it's never ending

These empty bones are dead inside

Only hope keeps us alive

But the soul is gold when the heart is healthy

She paid her dues she played those broken blues

Etta James and her name came from the very same truth

Skip the youth now it's things to do

Now it's cleaning up after you

And that's the music she sings to it's hallelujah

You know better than to walk in

With all the sin you're holding in

They said to leave it

At the door they said pain no more

She said but I got somethin' I'm fighting for

What you mean pain no more play the chord

Melodies playing her like chess

She's taking deep breaths

She takes a beating to the chest
