Cry it out — don’t let the wound go numb I no longer hold onto my wounds — the Father will heal them. Sing as you move — her steps turn into flame [Verse 1] The wind taps like grandmother’s cane Beneath the soil, our dreams remain One heavy step — the ground replies If you pause, she opens her eyes Trees remember what you’ve known Roots still echo through your bones When you run, she stays unheard When you stop — she sends her word [Chorus] Return your wounds to sacred land Don’t hold the pain with trembling hands We bow our heads and softly chant So Mother Earth can cradle night [Hook] I no longer hold onto my wounds — the Father will heal them. Cry it out — don’t let the wound go numb I no longer hold onto my wounds — the Father will heal them. Your step returns — she answers like light [Verse 2] Each drop of rain has heard your tears Even your silence lives in her ears Hands that press the soil in prayer The earth will hold and heal what's there Kneeling isn’t weakness, child It’s how we speak with spirits wild You offer pain — she sends back fire You plant one hope — she grows entire [Chorus] Return your wounds to sacred land Don’t hold the pain with trembling hands We bow our heads and softly chant So Mother Earth can cradle night [Bridge] Bones are singing with the ground It’s not your weakness — she’s just profound Angiwanaki amanxeba ami uzowapholis’ ubaba She threads your scars with sacred sound [Chorus] Return your wounds to sacred land Don’t hold the pain with trembling hands We bow our heads and softly chant So Mother Earth can cradle night She washes wounds with roots so strong Fractures bloom into morning song This chant climbs mountains, breaks the dark And brings you home, back to her heart [Outro] I no longer hold onto my wounds — the Father will heal them. Don’t fear the break — she’s always near I no longer hold onto my wounds — the Father will heal them. She sings to heal what you hold dear
