Morning Star, We Name Thee Ianthe

[Verse 1] She stood on the shore with no song left to sing— Just salt on her lips and a broken-wing ring. And the Lady of Dawn, with a hand full of flame, Said, “You will not burn, child. You’ll rise in my name.” [Chorus] Morning Star, we name thee Ianthe— Bright before the breakin’ day. Shine for the ones who ain’t come home— Shine for the ones who lost their way. [Verse 2] Now she walks just ahead of the fire, Crowned in silence, robed in choir. And every sailor who prays at sea Sails by the light she came to be. [Chorus – fuller with harmony] Morning Star, we name thee Ianthe— Guide for the ones who cry alone. You were ash, but you caught the flame— Now every dawn is carved with your name. [Bridge – spoken, tenderly] She ain’t lost. She was found by the light. She ain’t gone. She’s the first one who shines. [Final Chorus – hushed and sacred] Morning Star, we name thee Ianthe— First to rise, last to fall. Callin’ out with a silver cry— That love don’t die. It just learns to fly.
