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

Strong like Sinew (Music & Lyrics by Jessica Røki Kilroy)

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 pavement, 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 the sinew
of my 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 corn field and endless Texas dust
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
