Title: “Still Here (Arctic Wind Carries Me)”
Verse 1
I was born under Arctic sky
Where the Arctic breathes the light
On tundra wide and caribou trails
Under endless day and night
But they carried me south across unseen lines
On paper, stamped and signed
From Arctic wind to a distant home
With my first world left behind
Pre-Chorus
But you can’t erase what the land has known
Or the truth in blood and bone
Chorus
I’m still here, I’m still strong
Carrying where I belong
Arctic sky in my veins
Through the loss, through the change
You moved my life, you changed my name
But the roots remain the same
I am all the love that raised me
And the truth they couldn’t bury
Verse 2
To the ones who gave me life up North
I feel you in the land
In Arctic winds and frozen ground
In the strength within my hands
To the ones who raised me far away
Where softer seasons turn
Where rain replaced the northern ice
And different fires burn
You gave me space to find my way
And strength I didn’t know
You kept a steady light for me
So I could learn to grow
Pre-Chorus
Two kinds of love, both strong and true
I stand because of you
Chorus
I’m still here, I’m still strong
Carrying where I belong
Arctic sky in my veins
Through the loss, through the change
You moved my life, you changed my name
But the roots remain the same
I am all the love that raised me
And the truth they couldn’t bury
Bridge
Across a border I didn’t choose
A child between two worlds
But the Arctic wind still speaks my name
In ways I always heard
There’s a strength that lived before my voice
Through every loss endured
The resilience of a northern people
In me, it still endures
Final Chorus
We’re still here, we’re still strong
Carrying where we belong
Arctic voices will rise
Through the years, through the lies
You took the child, but not the soul
Not the story, not the whole
We are all the love that raised us
And the truth you couldn’t bury
Outro
From Arctic sky to where I stand
Every step is both my lands
Arctic wind carry me home
I was never truly gone
