Lyrics of James by Zach Williams
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
