Backbone - Nahko and Medicine For The People

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 burn my light

I can hear your thunder calling, clapping

It has kept me up all night

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

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

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

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 will change it 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

A comrade in the cause

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
