Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I walked the black bog home
With ash upon my shoes
The oak stood old and hollow
But it still would not refuse
The earth beneath my kneeling
Held more than bones and stone
It taught my hands to cradle
What fear had called unknown
[Pre-Chorus]
Then the wind rose clean and high
Through the heather and the wold
It said, "Stand straight, daughter"
When my voice grew thin and cold
[Chorus]
Earth, lift me up
Air, fill my lungs
Fire, keep my heart
Water, make me strong
Earth, hold my feet
Air, guide my way
Fire, guard my name
Water, stay
[Verse 2]
I learned the flame from embers
Inside a broken ring
A small bright law of living
The winter cannot bring
The river took my sorrow
And carried it from sight
It left a silver promise
Underneath the willow light
[Pre-Chorus]
Then I saw the fourfold road
Where the standing stones align
One path for the faithful
One path for the wild untamed line
[Chorus]
Earth, lift me up
Air, fill my lungs
Fire, keep my heart
Water, make me strong
Earth, hold my feet
Air, guide my way
Fire, guard my name
Water, stay
[Bridge]
If you come hurt and weary
I will be the door
A palm against the stormwind
A lamp beside your shore
I will not turn from darkness
I will not bend to fear
The circle lives within me
And the old powers answer here
[Final Chorus]
Earth, lift me up
Air, fill my lungs
Fire, keep my heart
Water, make me strong
Earth, hold my feet
Air, guide my way
Fire, guard my name
Water, stay
Earth, lift me up
Air, fill my lungs
Fire, keep my heart
Water, make me strong
Earth, hold my feet
Air, guide my way
Fire, guard my name
Water, stay
