Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Found in the frost at the edge of the pines
Wrapped in a torn old cloak
Carried through gates that I couldn’t yet see
Cradled in calloused arms
Spoke
Names I don’t know
Faces I do
Firelight
Bread on the stone
Laughter that stitched all the cracks in my skin
Suddenly I wasn’t alone
[Chorus]
I’m a daughter of the Vayler wood
Raised by every gentle hand that could
Turn an orphaned ghost into flesh and bone
You gave me a name
You gave me a home
Now my heart beats like a drawn-back bow
For the valley
For the river’s glow
You gave me a life
You gave me a truth
I’ll stand in the dark and bleed for you
[Verse 2]
Maps on the walls
Stories under the stairs
Steel on the table
Mud boots by the door
Hunters and healers and worn-traveled knights
Tracing their scars like old folklore
I learned how to track by the broken fern
How to read clouds like ink
How to make courage from shaking hands
How to move faster than I think
[Chorus]
[Bridge]
When the horn sounds low across the fields
And the tall trees shiver in their shields
I will walk that line where the shadows creep
You can lay your children down to sleep
[low vocal register] Let the bards sing wrong
Let the lords speak proud
They don’t know this crooked
Loving crowd
[voice breaking] I was nothing
You made me enough
Now I am your shelter
I am your rough-cut love
[Chorus]
