Copper Skin Gospel

Verse

Dust on my ankles from the open road

Radio low where the highlife flows

Barefoot on the hood of my brother's truck

Singing words I never knew how to speak

Copper skin catching every golden hour

Sunline across the highway, no shadow in power

I been running till the wind become a prayer

Every mile behind is one less weight I bear

Pre-Chorus

Tell me what it feels like when you finally fly

Is it rising or just learning how to land

The ground ain't holding me now, it's catching my hand

Something in my chest keeps climbing through the sound

Chorus

I am the copper light that nobody owns

Spilling on every mile and crossing over stones

Skyline turning amber where the taxis slow down

This is my body learning how to walk into a crown

Verse

Salt on my collarbone from chasing sunsets

Every city looks like home when I'm already gone

Strangers become family at a bus stop or a bar

Language of movement speaks louder than any star

Broke but burning, hungry for the road

Gold in every window I don't own

Feet still remember what it's been to carry nothing

Turns out that was just training wings to carry everything

Pre-Chorus

Tell me what it feels like when you finally fly

Is it rising or just learning how to land

The ground ain't holding me now, it's catching my hand

Something in my chest keeps climbing through the sound

Chorus

I am the copper light that nobody owns

Spilling on every mile and crossing over stones

Skyline turning amber where the taxis slow down

This is my body learning how to walk into a crown

Bridge

Not a prayer, it's already done

Every step I take dissolves like gold in sunlight

No looking back, no holding on

Just this current pulling me home to myself

Every scar is a map of something stronger

Every morning waking up lighter than before

Chorus

I am the copper light that nobody owns

Spilling on every mile and crossing over stones

Skyline turning amber where the taxis slow down

This is my body learning how to walk into a crown
