Walk Into the Morning

Lyrics

[Verse 1: Freya] I found your name beneath the frost Carved where the old road crossed You stood with winter on your coat And held a candle to the snow [Verse 2: Malachi] You asked me where the lost roads lead I said, “They bend where hearts have need” You laughed and warmed your hands in mine While ravens crossed the treeline [Pre-Chorus: Both] The mountain kept its counsel The river kept its pace But something in the silence Brought us face to face [Chorus: Both] Freya, Malachi, walk into the morning Past the iron hills, past the warning When the long night asks what we believe Hold my hand; we’ll make it leave Freya, Malachi, steady as the turning Two small flames with the whole world burning If the road divides beneath our feet Call my name, and I’ll meet you there [Verse 3: Freya] At dawn we found a broken gate Its hinges bent beneath their weight You lifted stones; I cleared the vine And sunlight entered, one thin line [Verse 4: Malachi] No crown was waiting past the wall No promised kingdom after all Just open fields and rain-wet ground And room to build what we had found [Pre-Chorus: Both] The mountain lost its silence The river changed its course We chose the road together And gave the day its force [Chorus: Both] Freya, Malachi, walk into the morning Past the iron hills, past the warning When the long night asks what we believe Hold my hand; we’ll make it leave Freya, Malachi, steady as the turning Two small flames with the whole world burning If the road divides beneath our feet Call my name, and I’ll meet you there [Bridge: Freya, then Malachi] Freya: If my courage falters, say the words we know Malachi: “One more step together”—and we go Both: No fate can bind us to a path alone We make a home wherever we have grown [Final Chorus: Both] Freya, Malachi, walk into the morning Past the iron hills, past the warning When the long night asks what we believe Hold my hand; we’ll make it leave Freya, Malachi, steady as the turning Two small flames with the whole world burning If the road divides beneath our feet Call my name, and I’ll meet you there [Outro: Both] Call my name, and I’ll meet you there Freya, Malachi—we’ll meet you there
