lyrics

They join hands and circle around a mist
The daughters take form amidst the morning dews
And the sons join them too

In the shape of a crown
A belt of human stars tie around the waist
Of the meadows and the marsh
Heather and charm

Fallen fathers just want to name the garden
Well ain't your mother safe?
Ain't your mother safe?

Meridians we are without fault
Invisible lightning bolts
Halo of chalk
Bones dirt and salt

I'm not blue
I am violet blood inside your veins
Another hue to paint your mother's grace
To paint your mother's grace

Unlock my heart and walk me to my fate
Please cultivate this heart
So that I may someday be her sky
Her wide open terrain
Her day her night
Within our mother's face
Within our mother's face.
