Backbone

(album: Hoka - 2016)

When we walk within the canyons
We feel the presence there
And the wind becomes my blanket
I can feel you everywhere
So you hold me in sweet darkness
Where I birthed my light
I can hear your thunder calling, clapping
It has kept me up all night

I heard "be fierce, noble, hold your arrow true"
I heard "be bold, graceful, you do you"
And I will too
I will too
I'll stand by you
I'll stand by you
Ooo and do, I got you

I'm an architect in my moment
I'm drafting from the ground
Cause all my archetypes have been woven
Into a perfect sound
So excuse me, I'm just learning
Harmony in the doubt
Excuse me, I'm just building
My perfect kingdom now

I heard "be fierce, noble, hold your arrow true"
I heard "be bold, graceful, you do you"
And I will too
I will too
I'll stand by you
I'll stand by you
Ooo and do, I got you

I will raise my hands to the sky
I will rise with the coming tides
And I will learn with the wolves all night
And I will always stand by your side
We were changing from the inside
I've known this my whole life
We will navigate the chaos
And learn to read the signs
And I will sit alone on mountains
And breathe the name of all
I will stand by you in reason
And come right in the cause

I heard "be fierce, noble, hold your arrow true"
I heard "be bold, graceful, you do you"
And I will too
I will too
I'll stand by you
I'll stand by you
I'll stand by you
I'll stand by you
Ooo and do, I got you
