Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I'll be the Earth that grounds you from the chaos all around
I'll be the home you return to, I can be your middle ground
And I will serve as a reminder if you jump you will not fall
Go on and spread those wings of reason
We are water after all
[Verse 2]
And if you call on me I'll come runnin' like a coyote
'Cause we're pillars indeed, a lighthouse when you're out to sea
A beacon when directions all I need
A compass if you know what I mean
Drunk on that nectar of all that you are to me
[Verse 3]
You can trust me and my instincts, 'cause they are like that of a bird
I am loyal, I will feed you and sing you songs you never heard
Who wants to wear the hat this morning?
I reckon neither of us cares
'Cause there is more to life than leading
And I would follow you, I swear
[Verse 4]
And if you call on me I'll come runnin' like a coyote
'Cause we're pillars indeed, a lighthouse when you're out to sea
A beacon when directions all I need
A compass if you know what I mean
Drunk on that nectar of all that you are to me
[Verse 5]
I will always share my fire, proper way to pay respects
Lay tobacco down in gratitude, yeah, one thing I cannot neglect
And there are eyes that watch us closely, and there's a story they will tell
There's a war between fact and fiction
Yeah, we have no time to dispel
So familiar yet so foreign, polaroids say so much
Bring me ceremony parallels, I'll bring vetiver and sage brush
[Verse 6]
And if you call on me I'll come runnin' like a coyote
'Cause we're pillars indeed, a lighthouse when you're out to sea
A beacon when directions all I need
A compass if you know what I mean
Drunk on that nectar of all that you are to me
[Verse 7]
And I love your feet for how they found me
And how they walked upon four winds
Be my deer, I'll be your meadow
Come graze upon bare skin
