Ancient Home

Chorus

Saltwater skin and rolling hills

Iron heart beat beneath the green

Patiently watching us fail

Patiently watching us try

Earth beneath my fingernails

Ancient home in every grain

Saltwater skin and rolling hills

Patiently watching us fail

Verse 1

Cool mud between my toes

Sinking down where the deep roots hold fast

Rivers carving silver paths

I wonder if you feel our heavy footprints

Chorus

Saltwater skin and rolling hills

Iron heart beat beneath the green

Patiently watching us fail

Patiently watching us try

Earth beneath my fingernails

Ancient home in every grain

Saltwater skin and rolling hills

Patiently watching us fail

Verse 2

Pine needles Carpet the slope

Cold winds climb every mountain ridge today

Sun warms the waking fields

I’m listening for the rumble of your turning

Bridge

Give us more time

Give us more air

Give us more life

Broken parts starting to mend

Starting to heal

Starting to stay

Chorus

Saltwater skin and rolling hills

Iron heart beat beneath the green

Patiently watching us fail

Patiently watching us try

Earth beneath my fingernails

Ancient home in every grain

Saltwater skin and rolling hills

Patiently watching us fail

Post-Chorus

Green and blue

Green and blue

Ooh

Wait for me now

Ooh

Stay for me now
