[Verse 1]
Under the woven sky
I feel the forest breathe my name
Every footprint
Every cry
Given back to where it came
Life is given
Life is taken
Like the tide around this tree
Every scar upon my body
Is a prayer that I’m still free
[Chorus]
This is the battle road
Running through the roots and stone
You fight until you fall
You fight until you’re gone
Hold your heart like burning stone
Have faith
Have faith
Hold on
On this battle road
You’ll be the strongest one
[Verse 2]
Brothers painted blue in firelight
Sisters standing
Bow in hand
Every loss becomes a shadow
Walking with us through the land
I was afraid of every heartbeat
Afraid the dawn would never come
But courage grows like climbing vines
When you face what you run from
[Chorus]
[Bridge]
[low vocal register] When the sky turns black
And the ground shakes under you
Remember who you are
Remember what you’ve come through
[whispered vocals] Life is given
Life is taken
Yet your spirit carries on
Stand your ground
Breathe it in
You were always forged strong
[Chorus]
