lyrics

There was a flame, there was a flame, drawn deep within her chest, rest and rise, praying burned every moment. There was a spark, there was a spark, come from the same place, billions and billions of years ago, and she knows it. There was a while where it was wide, there was a wide waterfall down, water fall round her, only just born. There was a light, come from her eyes, there was a light, let it come in, choosing her sin every morning. Choosing to be saved, saving herself every morning... choosing her name, naming herself, every morning... And she sang, “Don't unstring the arrow, I'm a feathered bow, I've got a long long way to go still, long long way to go…”
