[Verse 1]
Snow on the heather
Mist on the hill
I follow my breathing
Till everything’s still
Slow like the sunrise
Soft as a hymn
I open my ribcage
Let quiet rush in
[Chorus]
Inhale the north wind
Exhale the storm
I am the mountain
Calm in the roar
Rooted and rising
Earth in my veins
This is my kingdom
Of body and brain
[Verse 2]
Hands on the granite
Feet find the moss
I’m bowing to weather
I’m letting go loss
Stretching the shadows
Warming the cold
Each patient posture
Turns iron to gold
[Chorus]
Inhale the north wind
Exhale the storm
I am the mountain
Calm in the roar
Rooted and rising
Earth in my veins
This is my kingdom
Of body and brain
[Bridge]
Long roads behind me
Long light ahead
Peace in the spaces
Between every breath (ohhh)
Strong like the spruce trees
Gentle as rain
Warrior of quiet
In sun and in shade
[Chorus]
Inhale the north wind
Exhale the storm
I am the mountain
Calm in the roar
Rooted and rising
Earth in my veins
This is my kingdom
Of body and brain
