Lyrics
intro instrumental – fingerpicked acoustic guitar with distant electric swells
verse
Morning walks through the valley
Like a slow river of light
Dust rises under my footsteps
Soft as a whispering sky
The wind moves through the branches
Carrying nothing but time
Every leaf knows the secret
Of where the silence begins
pre-chorus
Close your eyes
Let the moment breathe
hook – mantra
Follow the wind
Follow the flame
The road is older
Than any name
Follow the wind
Follow the flame
The world keeps turning
Just the same
instrumental – electric guitar echoes and organ pads slowly rising
verse
The fire sleeps in the mountain
Waiting for someone to hear
The stones remember the thunder
Long before we were here
Water moves through the canyon
Patient and clear as the dawn
Nothing is ever really lost
Everything carries on
pre-chorus
Take a breath
Let the moment lead
hook – mantra
Follow the wind
Follow the flame
The road is older
Than any name
Follow the wind
Follow the flame
The world keeps turning
Just the same
instrumental – swirling electric leads over hypnotic bass
bridge – airy harmonies
The sky opens slowly
Like a door made of blue
Every step that we wander
Brings us closer to true
final hook – wider harmonies
Follow the wind
Follow the flame
The road is older
Than any name
Follow the wind
Follow the flame
We are the river
Without a chain
outro instrumental – guitars fading into echo
