Strong like Sinew (Music & Lyrics by Jessica Røki Kilroy, Copyright 2016 )
Arms across fire reaching
Arms across fire reaching
O I saw colors pouring out beside a pool
dancing, carefree yellow, porcelain, blue
overcome
legs across water walking through
And spilled upon the playa, evaporating
cried old reflections, mirages, dreams
come undone
arms across fire reaching
I recall the hand that chose
pitch and fervor above it all
winding round a river rock, bold
strong like sinew
of father's bow
I will eat your sorrow when you let me in
warm, moist marrow, cracked, bleeding skin
you are the one (arms across fire reaching)
painted in white sun medicine
High above towers and endless desert rust
soaring hot currents with the ravens and doves
we have become
warriors of wind walking love
Arms across fire reaching
Legs across water walking
Arms across fire reaching
I recall the hand that chose
pitch and fervor above it all
winding round a river rock, bold
strong like sinew
of father's bow
I will eat your sorrow when you let me in
