Prompt / 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]
