**Verse 1** She came with gold still in her hair And fire caught beneath her skin A crown behind her like a prayer A kingdom she was standing in But when she smiled, the court grew small The sky forgot its burning height And all the water in my hands Remembered how to hold the light **Pre-Chorus** I have known storms that split the stone I have watched whole cities drown But nothing ever shook my name Like watching her come down **Chorus** Oh, Adsila, flame over water Soft as dawn and sharp as truth If the heavens call you daughter Let the earth call me to you I will keep the rivers steady I will guard the gates at night You are not a falling star You are the sun choosing light **Verse 2** They dressed her grief in royal gold And taught her not to show the scar But every quiet thing she holds Still burns brighter than a star She laughs like embers learning rain She loves like wings refusing chains And when she looks at me too long I forget my own damn name **Pre-Chorus** Let legends argue over thrones Let old vows turn to dust I do not need the sky to know The shape of what I trust **Chorus** Oh, Adsila, flame over water Soft as dawn and sharp as truth If the heavens call you daughter Let the earth call me to you I will keep the rivers steady I will guard the gates at night You are not a falling star You are the sun choosing light **Bridge** If your crown grows heavy, give it here I have carried weight before If your wings grow tired, rest them near I will watch the door If the fire trembles in your chest I will not command it still I will be the riverbed That holds you by your will **Final Chorus** Oh, Adsila, heart of morning Gold that no one gets to own I will meet you past the burning Where the wildflowers have grown No throne could make you brighter No fate could make me flee You are not the sky’s lost daughter You are home coming to me **Outro** And when the last light leaves the west Come close Flame does not frighten water When love Knows How To flow
