(ahhhh) (ooh) I woke where the warm stones breathe
Hands full of rain and seed
Every step became a circle
Every circle carried me
If the road bends,
let it bend
I can begin again
Carry me higher, wide as the morning
Gold in my chest,
I am returning
Round and round, the sky keeps turning
I rise, I rise,
still burning (ooh) (ahhhh)
I have carried names like stones
Set them down beside the stream
Now the water knows my edges Now the fire
knows my dream What was heavy turns to wind
I can begin again
Hold the dark like soil
Hold the spark like bread Nothing here is wasted
Nothing here is dead
Open, open, open
Carry me higher, wide as the morning
Gold in my chest,
I am returning
Round and round, the sky keeps turning
I rise, I rise,
still burning (ahhhh)
I rise, I rise,
still burning (hummmm) (ooh)
