Viola's Song

[Verse 1]
She wore the crown like a borrowed dress
Velvet halls and a heavy crest
Candles burned
But her heart stayed cold
Dreams of dirt paths
Not thrones of gold
[Chorus]
Viola runs
Where the wild winds hum
Through fields of clover
Where she's from
Arrows fly
The sky turns wide
She left her name
But found her stride
[Verse 2]
Shoes discarded by the river's bend
Her laughter rose where the woods descend
A bow in hand
And the world in view
She traded a castle for the morning dew
[Prechorus]
No maps
No walls
No gilded gates
The world is hers
She writes her fate
[Chorus]
Viola runs
Where the wild winds hum
Through fields of clover
Where she's from
Arrows fly
The sky turns wide
She left her name
But found her stride
[Bridge]
A whisper in the trees
Her only throne
The earth beneath her feet
Her home
No need for jewels
No need for pride
Her story's told in the open sky
