Iphone4 - Part 1

This Pretty Face

Not the crown, 
not the coin, 
not the road so wide,
home is the ember that burns inside.

Not the castle, 
not the field, 
not the roaming ground,
Home is a hand where my heart is found.

Ash in the grate and a flame in the bone,
stone in the marrow, the marrow in stone.
I’ve carried the miles, I’ve carried the sound,
but the fire in my chest is what brought me round.
Every lantern I chased, every shadow I found,
still bent to the spark where your laugh resounds.
World may be wide, but it narrows to this:
a hearth, a flame, and your hand in the midst.

Hearthbound, fire and flame,
call me home by another name.
Stone and spark, heart and hand,
home is the place where we still stand.

Papa, the coals still glow in the rain,
silver as moonlight, sweet as grain.
The night may be dark, but I carry a gleam,
a pocket of warmth, a lantern of dream.
I held the spark in my little hand,
like a seashell hum or a grain of sand.
Every step you walked, I followed too,
for the fire was me, and the hearth was you.

Hearthbound, bright and true,
I was always at home with you.
Ash to ember, spark to flame,
home is love, and love’s the same.

Iron to rust and rust to red,
dreams still singing where the smoke has fled.
Coal becomes diamond, dust becomes rain,
sorrow becomes song when it calls your name.
Child of the flame, you opened my eyes,
to the gold in the ash, to the fire that lies.
I walked the long road, I wandered the land,
but I carried your hearth in the palm of my hand.

Hearthbound, wild and free,
fire within is the alchemy.
Stone to gold, heart unbound,
every road turns hearthbound.

You are my flame when the dark was long.

You are my hearth, my first song.

So we burn, never fall.

We are always home through it all.

Hearthbound, ember’s glow,
everywhere I wander, I know.
Ash to flame, spark to ground,
always, always hearthbound.

Papa, the fire’s still warm…
