lyrics

She fell from a star
Or rose from the sea
I’m really not sure

Weaving a saga
From the light of the moon
Then letting it burn

She often touches the flame
Seared skin and heart ablaze
Braver yet she forever becomes
Soaring closer to her brother the sun

Her heart breaks
A thousand times
Each day

The pieces turn
To a thousand golden ravens
Calling to their young, calling to their young

And as she sings this gilded song
Black feathers encased by her golden tongue
The spirits awake to a clear melody
As clear as the water she came from
As clear as the water she came from

She often touches the flame
Seared skin and heart ablaze
Braver yet she forever becomes
Soaring closer to her brother the sun

She gives her heart
Wholly, unfettered
To her garden
Wholly, unfettered to her garden
