[Verse 1]
Stone steps
Cold moss
Bare feet in the dawn
Breath slow
Pulse calm
Old scars almost gone
Tea steam
Rising
Like thoughts I let pass
One form
Ten thousand times
Iron in the quiet heart
[Chorus]
I walk the blade between the clouds and dust
Hands are empty, but I carry trust
If I fall a hundred lives, I’ll rise again
Cultivating thunder in a drop of rain
Every cut that found my flesh turned thin
Became a gate, I learned to step within
I’m just a monk beneath an endless sky
But every breath is how I learn to fly (hey)
[Verse 2]
Late night
Moon ink
Spills silver on the yard
Old pines
Wind hums
Each branch a watching guard
Scrolls burn
Soft gold
On pages worn and torn
Silent oaths
I whisper
To worlds still unborn
[Bridge]
They called me weak
They called me slow
Didn’t see the rivers
Blooming in my bones
They chased the flash
I chased the still
Now every quiet moment
Shakes the mountain’s will
[Chorus]
I walk the blade between the clouds and dust
Hands are empty, but I carry trust
If I fall a hundred lives, I’ll rise again
Cultivating thunder in a drop of rain
Every cut that found my flesh turned thin
Became a gate, I learned to step within
I’m just a monk beneath an endless sky
But every breath is how I learn to fly (oh)
