Lyrics

[Verse]
We were born with the rivers the mountains the sky
Before borders were drawn before the first lie
Our roots run deeper than walls ever could grow
In the whispers of earth our true ancestors show

[Verse 2]
The wind carried songs of a long-forgotten time
When the stars were the guides and the air was sublime
No chains to divide us no flags in the breeze
Only wide open hearts and a love that was free

[Chorus]
But now we’ve built towers that scrape at the sun
We've painted over stories that were meant to be sung
Echoes in the shadows call out to be heard
From the rivers and mountains to the flight of a bird

[Bridge]
Can you hear the drums when the silence takes hold
Feel the fire of the ancients in a world growing cold
They left us their voices carved into the air
Waiting for us to see what’s always been there

[Verse 3]
The rivers still run where we once stood as one
The mountains still hum though their battles aren’t done
The sky still remembers but its tears often fall
Trying to wash away the borders standing tall

[Chorus]
But now we’ve built towers that scrape at the sun
We've painted over stories that were meant to be sung
Echoes in the shadows call out to be heard
From the rivers and mountains to the flight of a bird
