00:13I loved you first as the light loves the dawn
00:16As a root reaches for the rain
00:20It cannot yet explain
00:27I knew your voice before I knew my own shape
00:31After the world taught me how to be afraid
00:34I love Yadda like a lantern
00:37Loves the hand that lifts it through the barren sand
00:42The word became a doorway, a doorway became home
00:45And every lonely mile was quietly undone
00:48You were the hush inside the cedar flame
00:52The loving kindness that called me by name
00:55Yehawa, you were never far away
00:59You are the morning waiting under ash and grey
01:02And I, the Emma, with hands and breath
01:06Found a loud love that even death can't silence
01:09Not because I earned it, not because I knew
01:12But because your kindness opened and saw me through
01:16So I would sing with the remnants and the worn
01:20With the ones who were wandering until they were born
01:26Born
01:28Just a lot of heart
