Breath of the Four

Born in the storm

Raised in the calm

Ink on my skin

Elemental psalms (yeah)

I was a kid in the temple

Carving my name in the stone

All of the elders were talking in riddles

I had to find it alone

Air in my lungs like a secret

Spinning these doubts off my back

Step on the ground and it listens

Dust of the past in my tracks

They tried to bury my history

I turned the pages to flame

Boil up the pain in my stomach

Cool it and call it a wave

I am the last of the language

Written in smoke and in sand

You see the sky start folding

Know it's the work of my hands

I’m the last airbender

Breathe in, the world gets lighter

One step, the stones get higher

Hands up, the rain turns fire

I’m the last airbender

When I fall, the wind remembers

Every scar, a carved defender

Say my name, the four surrender

Mark on my head like a sunrise

Glow when the danger is near

Circle around all my failures

Turn every fear to a spear

Earth at my heel when I stumble

River that runs through my doubt

Heat in my chest when I’m cornered

Storm in my lungs breaking out

They want a hero in armor

I show up barefoot and thin

Carry the weight of a nation

Held in the space of a grin

I’m not a god, I’m a mirror

You see your courage in me

Close both your eyes for a second

Feel how the air sets you free (yeah)

I’m the last airbender

Breathe in, the world gets lighter

One step, the stones get higher

Hands up, the rain turns fire

I’m the last airbender

When I fall, the wind remembers

Every scar, a carved defender

Say my name, the four surrender

Who bends the sky

Who breaks the chain

Boy with a past

Man in the flame

If I should fade

Ash in the air

You’ll hear my voice

Still hanging there (still hanging there)

I’m the last airbender

Breathe in, the world gets lighter

One step, the stones get higher

Hands up, the rain turns fire

I’m the last airbender

When I fall, the wind remembers

Every scar, a carved defender

Say my name, the four surrender
