Kingdom Dust

I came in with my name in the mud

Bare feet, but my stare said enough

Mama kept the pot on the flame

Now I wear that fire like a chain

Dust on my palms, gold in my teeth

You see the calm, I see the leap

Old road, new blood in my chest

I don't run from the weight, I bless it

Hear that roll when I step through

Whole room shakes when I step through

Hands up, hearts beat loud

Tell me now, can you hold this ground?

We rise from the dust

We rise, we rise from the dust

Hold me, hold me close

I'm built from the dust and the fire

We rise from the dust

We rise, we rise from the dust

Say my name out loud

I'm built from the dust and the fire

Got a sky full of scars overhead

Still I walk with a crown on my head

Every crack turned into a road

Every bruise made the rhythm grow

I know that look when they doubt me

Still the whole tribe moves around me

Drums in the dark, feet in the sand

I lift my face, I take the land

Hear that roll when I step through

Whole room shakes when I step through

Hands up, hearts beat loud

Tell me now, can you hold this ground?

We rise from the dust

We rise, we rise from the dust

Hold me, hold me close

I'm built from the dust and the fire

We rise from the dust

We rise, we rise from the dust

Say my name out loud

I'm built from the dust and the fire

If I fall, I fall like thunder

Still my blood won't break in half

From the dark I bring the morning

From the ash I make my path

We rise from the dust

We rise, we rise from the dust

Hold me, hold me close

I'm built from the dust and the fire

We rise from the dust

We rise, we rise from the dust

Say my name out loud

I'm built from the dust and the fire
