Wheat and Stone

Lyrics

[Verse 1] They built the road from names They nailed the signs to wood We walked until the frame Started to feel like our reality A map becomes a hand A habit becomes a Culture We touch the same old marks And call it solid, call it all [Pre-Chorus] And every mouth agrees And every eye leans in The shared thing starts to breathe Then it gets under skin [Chorus] Truth in our hands Truth in our hands We make the shape Then we live inside the land Truth in our hands Truth in our hands A shared old name Turns the dust to a command [Verse 2] Your father’s table creaked Under the winter plate My mother kept the jars And taught me how to wait We learned the world by sign By stories, rituals, songs What we all keep repeating Goes farther than the stars [Pre-Chorus] And when enough of us Speak one thing like a vow The line between the made And the born gets harder now [Chorus] Truth in our hands Truth in our hands We make the shape Then we live inside the land Truth in our hands Truth in our hands A shared old name Turns the dust to a command [Bridge] If I was left alone With only bone and rain Would I still know my world Or lose the edge of pain? But you were there with me And so the wound was proof We stitched the sky with words And called that stitching truth [Final Chorus] Truth in our hands Truth in our hands We make the shape Then we live inside the land Truth in our hands Truth in our hands A shared old name Turns the dust to a command Truth in our hands Truth in our hands What we all believe Becomes the way we stand
