[Verse 1]
Merida in the pines
Red curls in the rain
Black bears in the shadows
I feel that wild again
I notch up a quiet arrow
Hear my boots on the loam
Running through the heather
Like the whole woods is home
[Pre-Chorus]
Hold your breath
Then let it fly
One clean shot
Across the sky
The branches part
The hawks all turn
I’m going in
Let the daylight burn
[Chorus]
Merida, Merida
Run with me now
Black bears, black bears
We’re faster somehow
Arrow up, arrow true
Heart like a flame
Merida, Merida
Say my name (say my name)
[Verse 2]
Moss on my ankles
Mud on my knees
I slip past the brambles
And climb through the trees
A bear tracks deep
In the soft earth ground
I laugh at the danger
When you’re around
[Pre-Chorus]
Hold your breath
Then let it fly
One clean shot
Across the sky
The branches part
The hawks all turn
I’m going in
Let the daylight burn
[Chorus]
Merida, Merida
Run with me now
Black bears, black bears
We’re faster somehow
Arrow up, arrow true
Heart like a flame
Merida, Merida
Say my name (say my name)
[Bridge]
If the road goes dark
I still won’t stop
I can hear the wild
In every pop
One more turn
One more leap
Keep the secret
Keep it deep
[Final Chorus]
Merida, Merida
Run with me now
Black bears, black bears
We’re faster somehow
Arrow up, arrow true
Heart like a flame
Merida, Merida
Say my name (say my name)
