Sister Heart Fire

Lyrics

Verse 1
I held your name like rain
In my closed-up palm
When the old room darkened
I still sang you calm
Your dress on the chair
Your hair in the bowl
I was learning to love
What I could not hold

Pre-Chorus
Then I heard you
Under the ache
Not gone, just hiding
Behind the break
I turned to the wound
I turned to the light
And found a small spark
Still burning bright

Chorus
Sister heart, come home
Sister heart, come home
I will not fear the dark
I will hold you close
Sister heart, come home
Sister heart, come home
The lost one was never lost
Just waiting to be known
(come home) (come home)

Verse 2
I walked through the ashes
Soft on my feet
No blade in my mouth
No war in my grief
I knelt by the mirror
Spoke tender and slow
"Whatever you carried
You do not carry alone"

Pre-Chorus
Then I heard you
Under the ache
Not gone, just hiding
Behind the break
I turned to the wound
I turned to the light
And found a small spark
Still burning bright

Chorus
Sister heart, come home
Sister heart, come home
I will not fear the dark
I will hold you close
Sister heart, come home
Sister heart, come home
The lost one was never lost
Just waiting to be known
(come home) (come home)

Bridge
In the quiet
Your face returned
Not as a lesson
But as a word
Mercy
Mercy
On the broken thread
I follow the gold
You left in my chest

Final Chorus
Sister heart, come home
Sister heart, come home
I will not fear the dark
I will hold you close
Sister heart, come home
Sister heart, come home
The lost one was never lost
Just waiting to be known
Sister heart, come home
Sister heart, come home
I am the hand now
That brings you home
(come home) (come home)
