Undertow

Song written by Amil Imani

Verse 1
Sunrise paints the cracks in the city walls
Birdsong breaks through the sprawl
Another day to write my own story unwind
Diamond in the rough, I shine from the inside

Pre-Chorus
Roots run deep, foundation set in stone
I rise from the seed where courage is sown

Chorus
I’m a river carving canyons, steady and slow
I’m a whisper in the storm, a wild wind’s flow
Not a force to be reckoned with, but a gentle undertow
My strength is resilience; watch me watch me grow

Verse 2
Stumbles and scars are whispers of the past
Lessons learned, battles fought, they forever last
But they don’t define me; the present holds me fast
Open heart, open mind, the future’s meant to last

Pre-Chorus
Roots run deep, foundation set in stone
I rise from the seed where courage is sown

Chorus
I’m a river carving canyons, steady and slow
I’m a whisper in the storm, a wild wind’s flow
Not a force to be reckoned with, but a gentle undertow
My strength is resilience; watch me watch me grow

Bridge
This quiet power, a force unseen
It builds mountains, mends what’s broken, keeps the world green

Chorus

I’m a river carving canyons, steady and slow
I’m a whisper in the storm, a wild wind’s flow
Not a force to be reckoned with, but a gentle undertow
My strength is resilience; watch me watch me grow
