[Verse 1]
I left my boots by the gate
Mud on the heel, salt on the lace
The pines were leaning in close
Like they knew my name by grace
Crows on the wireline path
Black beads scattered on grey
I held a stone in my palm
For the weight of yesterday
[Pre-Chorus]
But the hill kept singing low
And the cold wind pulled me through
Ancient roots beneath my feet
Said, "Child, the sky is in you"
[Chorus]
Earthbound heart
Starbound soul
Moss in my hand
Fire in my bones
Earthbound heart
Starbound soul
(I hear the calling)
I am not alone
[Verse 2]
Your face was carved in the mist
Then gone with the turn of the rain
I traced your name in the frost
And the frost turned soft again
A lantern swayed on the lane
Then vanished behind the fern
But every fern in the dark
Had a secret pulse I could learn
[Pre-Chorus]
So I followed that thin bright thread
Through the heather, cold and blue
Ancient roots beneath my feet
Said, "Child, the sky is in you"
[Chorus]
Earthbound heart
Starbound soul
Moss in my hand
Fire in my bones
Earthbound heart
Starbound soul
(I hear the calling)
I am not alone
[Bridge]
When the hush came over the dale
I heard the stone sing back
Old songs sleeping in the rain
Woke up on the winding track
And the dark was never dark
Just a cloak of woven light
I lifted my face to the wind
And it opened into night
[Final Chorus]
Earthbound heart
Starbound soul
Moss in my hand
Fire in my bones
Earthbound heart
Starbound soul
(Still I’m rising)
I am not alone
Earthbound heart
Starbound soul
Ancient forests call me home
