I was listening to the sea at night Cold wind speaking low and slow Saw my name in the moving tide, then the water let it go Barefoot steps on ancient stone, trying to follow borrowed light Every road I walked away turned me back to who I am There’s a pull beneath my skin, like the earth still knows my name Every breath is memory, calling me home again Take me higher than my fear, past the edge of what I know Every star remembers me, every light says, you are home I was running through the dark till the night began to glow I don’t have to fall anymore I was written in the stars long ago I dreamed I was a child again, climbing trees against the sky Saw a spark above the hills, waiting patient, passing by I’ve been wearing other names, trying hard to fit somewhere But the fire I’ve carried still burns the same in every air When I finally raise my eyes, all the fear begins to fade Even distance feels like kin when the night learns how to stay Take me higher than my fear, past the edge of what I know Every star remembers me, every light says, you are home I was running through the dark till the night began to glow I don’t have to fall anymore I was written in the stars long ago I let go of the name I wore, of the fear I held, of the shores I knew In the hush between the stars, I am light, I am breath, I am you Take me higher than my fear, past the edge of what I know Every star remembers me, every light says, you are home I was running through the dark till the night began to glow I don’t have to fall anymore I was written in the stars long ago Written in the stars long ago
