Ancestors Move at Dawn (wersja 2)

Verse

Tin roof dew on my bare feet

Cold concrete keeps the night's heartbeat

Water tower shadow leans on the wall

First taxi horn is the ancestors' call

Blanket smell of woodsmoke and rain

Kettle steam climbs the window pane

Streetlight dims where the sun starts to bleed

My hips wake up before my feet

Pre-Chorus

Can you feel the sky turning

Grey into gold on my skin

Something old is returning

Right where the morning begins

Chorus

Ancestors move at dawn

Through my spine, they carry on

Ancestors move at dawn

Feet find ground, the night is gone

Verse

Market stalls still wrapped in plastic sheets

Dust rises soft under waking feet

Rooster call folds into the beat

Grandmother's rhythm, my body repeats

Steam off the tar where the taxis wait

Horn line calling like a heartbeat's gate

Shoulders drop, my breath finds the drum

Old ones rise as the new light comes

Pre-Chorus

Can you feel the sky turning

Grey into gold on my skin

Something old is returning

Right where the morning begins

Chorus

Ancestors move at dawn

Through my spine, they carry on

Ancestors move at dawn

Feet find ground, the night is gone

Bridge

I don't chase the sun, I let it find me

Every step already written behind me

No clock, no rush, just the light on my chest

The ones who walked here never left

Chorus

Ancestors move at dawn

Through my spine, they carry on

Ancestors move at dawn

Feet find ground, the night is gone
