Zach Williams - James lyrics

Breathe, breathe What his lung saying begs him to scream Scream is what James wants But he can't be seen Seen by the boys Sleeping boys in their dreams Dreams on the banks of a riverbed They would have saved him If he could wake them Sleep through the midnight This night won't leave Deep, deep is the river That's under his feet Feet, dangling dark In the night but no sleep Sleep won't consume For this God-fearing boy Who's stuck in the cold fog of December trees They would have saved him If he could wake them Sleep through the midnight This night won't leave They would have saved him If he could wake them Sleep through the midnight This night won't fall Fall comes the rain down and wakes up them all All they can see is James' boots and they crawl Crawl down the steep river's edge Slipping right past him That's where they screamed James, James Get out of the water Please, please Don't go down No farther There's rapids up ahead In this valley's bend Please, James James, James Get out of the water Please, please Don't go down No farther There's rapids up ahead In this valley's bend Please, James They would have saved him If he could wake them Sleep through the midnight This night won't... They would have saved him If he could wake them Sleep through the midnight This night won't... James, James Get out of the water Please, please Don't go down No farther There's rapids up ahead In this valley's bend Please, James James, James Get out of the water Please, please Don't go down No farther There's rapids up ahead In this valley's bend James, James Get out of the water Please, please Don't go down No farther There's rapids up ahead In this valley's bend Please, James
