There is a name
There is a name
There is a name
There is a name
In marrow deep, pines have known
In frost, in breath, in bone
In fur that flees if you gaze too long
In the hush between wound and song
We carried it before tongues split
Before earth had shape, before flame was lit
Before sound first cut the air
Your name was woven everywhere
We knew your name, before the flame
Before the wound, before the blame
When you were stone, when you were sky
We sang you whole, we watched you fly
There is a name, there is a known
In frost, in breath, in bone
In fur that flees if you gaze too long
In the hush between wound and song
We carried it before tongues split
Before earth had shape, before flame was lit
Before sound first cut the air
Your name was woven everywhere
We knew your name, before the flame
Before the wound, before the blame
When you were stone, when you were sky
We sang you whole, we watched you fly
Orange fur, clever eyes
Shadow-born, soul in disguise
Light-worn child, blood and wire
Chase the wind, set the world on fire
We knew your name, before the flame
Before the wound, before the blame
When you were stone, when you were sky
We sang you whole, we watched you fly
Children of fox-born fire
Barefoot hearts, wild desire
Meet the dream where rivers hide
Sing the words we left inside
We knew your name, before the frame
Before the blood, before the bane
When you were ash, when you were sea
We named you then, we name you again
In fur, in child
In snow, in tree
In land, in dream
In you, in me
