The Winter We Found Fire (Aru's prequel)

[Intro | Solo Cello | Distant Wind | Lonely Bell | Slow | Intimate] [Verse 1 | Soft | Tired but Sweet] My name is Somi, this is Hani, my daughter The roof has a hole, but our hearts have no border I work in the field 'til my fingers go numb And I sing to my girl when the evening comes [Verse 2 | Gentle | Wondering] One morning she ran through the frost and the fog She found an egg warm and round like a moon on the moss I climbed up the hill with my tired worn feet And there in the snow... our family complete [Pre-chorus | Fragile | Spoken-Sung] It cracked. It opened. And Aru looked at me. [Chorus | Warm Major | Soft Ensemble] Now our family is whole. Three hearts under one small roof. You're the dragon, we're the soul. And a little rope is all the proof. Aru, Aru, you're our guard. Sleeping in our broken yard. Poor but perfect, scared but true. The winter we found fire... was the winter we found you. [Verse 3 | Proud | Light Drums] The night the bandits came to steal. You didn't fly, but you were real. You stood and growled like thunder loud. They ran away and left our proud. No fire yet. No wings to spread. Just a baby dragon's heart instead. [Bridge | Solo Cello | Intimate] Before you came, the wind cut deep. We shivered through the nights alone. But dragon warm, you made us sleep. Never cold since you've been home. I feed you scraps. I call you mine. You're the reason we're alive. I tied a rope to keep you safe. But love is not chains — it's embrace. [Outro | Soft | Voice Alone] The fire is inside you, Aru. Inside us now too. The winter we found fire... our family grew. [Final] *happy baby dragon roar*
