Unspoken Trail

Intro – low, steady, almost like a heartbeat]

Hey-ya… hey-ya…

Old ways move in quiet steps…

Hey-ya… hey-ya…

⸻

She wakes before the morning breaks

Frost on her breath, the silence wakes

Hands on the line, she calls each name

Lead steps forward—knows the way

She’s heard these winds her whole life long

Learns without being told in song

Every motion, soft and sure

Carried by what came before

⸻

Step and pull, breath in time

Trust the lead at the front of the line

She don’t speak what she just knows

Feels it in the way she goes

⸻

Hey-ya hey-ya—run all night

Under dancing northern light

Hey-ya hey-ya—don’t divide

Many spirits, one long stride

Hey-ya hey-ya—strong and free

Held in quiet memory

Hey-ya hey-ya—hear them cry

Paws on earth and lights in sky

⸻

Raven circles, shadow thin

Calls to something deep within

Lead dog leans into the glow

Knows the path the winds don’t show

She don’t question, she don’t fight

Reads the trail and reads it right

Like a voice she’s always known

Even when she stands alone

⸻

Call: Who showed the way without a name?

Response: Still here… still the same

Call: Who walks beside but leaves no track?

Response: Never gone… always back

Call: Where does that knowing come from deep?

Response: What we carry… what we keep

⸻

Hey-ya hey-ya—run as one

Raven, lead, and rising sun

Hey-ya hey-ya—don’t divide

Many spirits, one long stride

Hey-ya hey-ya—strong and free

Trail of trust and memory

Hey-ya hey-ya—hear them cry

Spirit runs and never dies

⸻

Hey-ya… hey-ya…

She runs the trail… but not alone…

Hey-ya… hey-ya…

What was given… still is known…
