Verse 1The road is drowning under silence,White falls out of a broken sky,Winter walks this land like a tyrant,I’m going home… I don’t ask why.
Verse 2North wind scraping frozen heaven,Ash is falling from the stars,Every step through blooming shadowsPulls me back to who you are.
ChorusToday my mother writes foreverIn the fabric of her pain,Seeding lilies in the winter,Carving love into my name.She don’t count the years in numbers,She don’t fear what time may steal,She counts every scar as heaven,Every wound that made me real.
Verse 3Blooming is the place you held meWhen my world was thin and small,Two old hands like cracked horizonsWere my shelter… were my wall.
Verse 4There’s a fire beneath your silence,There’s a light behind your eyes,I hear angels in your breathingWhen the world around me dies.
ChorusToday my mother writes foreverIn the fabric of her pain,Seeding lilies in the winter,Carving love into my name.She don’t count the years in numbers,She don’t fear what time may steal,She counts every scar as heaven,Every wound that made me real.
BridgeYou took a ghost and made him human,You took a fear and made it strong,You taught me hunger isn’t living,You taught me right from being wrong.I tasted love and tasted warning,I wore the blessing and the rod,I learned to walk the line betweenA sinner’s heart… and a holy God.
Final ChorusToday my mother cuts through darknessLike a blade made out of light,Every tear she ever cried wasFuel that keeps my soul alive.She gave me more than blood and breathing,She gave me fire, she gave me flame,She turned a boy into a promiseAnd carved that promise in my name.
OutroI carry no rage, I carry no blame,Only your voice inside my brain…When the night gets loud and lonelyI am talking to your name.
