Iron in your veins 2

Verse

Your mother used to say a body can remember fire

Not just the heat that leaves but what it took to rise

You inherited some of that from her side

A spark in your veins when nobody was watching time

Pre-Chorus

Is this the iron in your blood speaking

Or the rhythm of the night taking over?

Tell me if you feel it climbing up your spine

Slow as a ember but burning like a fire sign

Chorus

Iron in your veins, hold it still

Hold the heat where it likes to rise

Don't let go, don't let it chill

Iron in your veins, keep on rising high

Verse

You were born with this inside before you knew it was there

Your grandmother could feel it growing like a prayer

She taught you how to breathe through what's hard to bear

Now I watch the fire burning in your eyes and hair

Pre-Chorus

Is this the iron in your blood speaking

Or the rhythm of the night taking over?

Tell me if you feel it climbing up your spine

Slow as a ember but burning like a fire sign

Chorus

Iron in your veins, hold it still

Hold the heat where it likes to rise

Don't let go, don't let it chill

Iron in your veins, keep on rising high

Bridge

Not just about being strong, not just about being brave

This is what you carry before you learn to love yourself

So I won't tell you slow down, I'll say let the fire do what it's supposed to do

Chorus

Iron in your veins, hold it still

Hold the heat where it likes to rise

Don't let go, don't let it chill

Iron in your veins, keep on rising high
