Nahko Bear - Backbone lyrics

[Verse 1] When we walk within the canyons We feel the presence there And the wind becomes my blanket I can feel you everywhere So you hold me in sweet darkness Where I birthed my light I can hear your thunder calling, clapping It has kept me up all night [Chorus] I heard "be fierce, noble, hold your arrow true" I heard "be bold, graceful, you do you" And I will too I will too I'll stand by you I'll stand by you Through and through, I got you [Verse 2] I'm an architect in my moment I'm drafting from the ground Cause all my archetypes have been woven Into a perfect sound So excuse me, I'm just learning Harmony in the Tao Excuse me, I'm just building My perfect kingdom now [Chorus] I heard "be fierce, noble, hold your arrow true" I heard "be bold, graceful, you do you" And I will too I will too I'll stand by you I'll stand by you Through and through, I got you [Verse 3] I will raise my hands to the sky I will rise with the coming tides And I will learn with the wolves all night And I will always stand by your side We were changing from the inside I've known this my whole life We will navigate the chaos And learn to read the signs And I will sit alone on mountains And breathe the name of all I will stand by you in reason And come right in the cause [Chorus] I heard "be fierce, noble, hold your arrow true" I heard "be bold, graceful, you do you" And I will too I will too I'll stand by you I'll stand by you I'll stand by you I'll stand by you Through and through, I got you
