[Intro – Strummed acoustic guitar + Hammond sustained chord, flute curls into light] [Verse 1 – Voice clear, relaxed but present] I walked the field we burned to dust Where nothing grew, where none would trust But silence bloomed beneath my feet And turned the ashes into wheat [Verse 2 – Low strings enter, bass swells] The fire slept, but didn’t die It breathed through soil and watched the sky And in that stillness, slow and wide It kept the warmth we left inside [Chorus – Full strings, drums begin to swell] Where the fire once slept Now the green begins to rise Not as flames or tears But as something that survives [Verse 3 – Stripped again, voice + guitar] My hands still bear the ember’s mark But not with pain — they hold the spark And every scar that shaped this land Now grows with what I understand [Bridge – Hammond shifts upward, strings modulate] [Choral layering:] *We are more than what we lost We are roots beneath the frost We are breath that feeds the flame Not the fire — but the name* [Final Chorus – Full vocal and instrumental bloom] Where the fire once slept We return with open hands We don’t need to shout The ground already understands [Outro – Acoustic fades, solo flute echoes final melodic line, Hammond holds last chord in Emaj]
