There is a name There is a name There is a name There is a name In marrow deep, pines have known In frost, in breath, in bone In fur that flees if you gaze too long In the hush between wound and song We carried it before tongues split Before earth had shape, before flame was lit Before sound first cut the air Your name was woven everywhere We knew your name, before the flame Before the wound, before the blame When you were stone, when you were sky We sang you whole, we watched you fly There is a name, there is a known In frost, in breath, in bone In fur that flees if you gaze too long In the hush between wound and song We carried it before tongues split Before earth had shape, before flame was lit Before sound first cut the air Your name was woven everywhere We knew your name, before the flame Before the wound, before the blame When you were stone, when you were sky We sang you whole, we watched you fly Orange fur, clever eyes Shadow-born, soul in disguise Light-worn child, blood and wire Chase the wind, set the world on fire We knew your name, before the flame Before the wound, before the blame When you were stone, when you were sky We sang you whole, we watched you fly Children of fox-born fire Barefoot hearts, wild desire Meet the dream where rivers hide Sing the words we left inside We knew your name, before the frame Before the blood, before the bane When you were ash, when you were sea We named you then, we name you again In fur, in child In snow, in tree In land, in dream In you, in me
