Swift River
[Introduction]
Welcome to Swift River, where the water flows free A small town with a secret history Diamond and her Ma, they're all that's left of me
[Verse 1]
Seven years gone, no word from Pop Ma says he's dead, but I don't know the drop We hitchhike everywhere, just us two But I feel like I'm invisible, nobody sees me through
[Pre-Chorus]
I'm teased about my weight, it cuts so deep The only Black girl in town, that's all they see in me
[Chorus]
But then I received a letter from a relative unknown A piece of Pop's life unraveled, and now I'm not alone I'm finding my place, my family tree And it's changing everything, setting me free
[Verse 2]
Ma wants to move on, collect the insurance pay But I need to know more about our past, before we drift away A relative unknown, with a story untold Now I'm piecing together, the secrets that were left unspoken
[Pre-Chorus]
I'm finding my voice, speaking up for me No more invisible, just be free
[Chorus]
But then I received a letter from a relative unknown A piece of Pop's life unraveled, and now I'm not alone I'm finding my place, my family tree And it's changing everything, setting me free
[Chorus]
No more invisible, just be free I'm finding my voice, speaking up for me But then I received a letter from a relative unknown
[Bridge]
Two generations of women, strong and proud and true A legacy of love and devotion, that's what we go through We've been abandoned, but we won't be ashamed We'll rise above the pain, and we'll claim our name
[Chorus]
No more invisible, just be free I'm finding my voice, speaking up for me But then I received a letter from a relative unknown
[Outro]
