Earth Witches

Bare feet in the gravel

Ink-black soil on our hands

We read roots like they’re novels

We trace maps in the sand

Moss crowns on our foreheads

Laugh lines

Wild in our eyes

We know every broken fence post

Every crow that ever flies

Earth witches roaming the earth

Spinning storms out of breath and dirt

Every field

Every river we cross

We’re singing for the lost (hey)

Earth witches

Shoulders of stone

Turning rusted ruins into homes

If you’re tired

If you’re hurt

Come and walk with the earth witches roaming the earth

We trade seeds in our pockets

Whisper names of the rain

Hang hope from telephone wires

Like bright charms for your pain

We leave love in the sidewalks

Chalk hearts

Clover and thyme

Blessing strangers with a passing glance

Then vanish down the power lines

Earth witches roaming the earth

Spinning storms out of breath and dirt

Every field

Every river we cross

We’re singing for the lost (oh yeah)

Earth witches

Shoulders of stone

Turning rusted ruins into homes

If you’re tired

If you’re hurt

Come and walk with the earth witches roaming the earth

We don’t glow

We grow

Cracks in the pavement

Flowers in a row

Every scar on your skin

Is a story we can mend from within (hey)

Earth witches roaming the earth

Spinning storms out of breath and dirt

Every field

Every river we cross

We’re singing for the lost

Earth witches

Shoulders of stone

Turning rusted ruins into homes

If you’re tired

If you’re hurt

Come and walk with the earth witches roaming the earth
