Verse
Collarbone holds the heat of the drum
Salt on the lip where the two tides come
Feet find the floor like the sea finds sand
Body keeps time with a tide-worn hand
Ribs pull tight then let the air go
Throat holds a hymn that the hips already know
Nothing but breath and the heat we made
Skin turns to shore where the current stayed
Pre-Chorus
Let the thirst rise, let it lead
Nothing to fight, just the body's need
Chorus
Sweat and salt water
Deep in the skin
Sweat and salt water
Let it begin
Sweat and salt water
Rising within
Sweat and salt water
Home where I've been
Verse
Spine bends soft where the current pulls
Throat opens wide to the drum that rules
Shoulders loosen like a shore at night
Body gives back what the dance ignites
Palms turn open, no more to prove
Hips remember the water's move
Nothing held back, nothing to save
Body becomes its own kind of wave
Pre-Chorus
Let the current climb, let it call
Nothing to hold, just the letting fall
Chorus
Sweat and salt water
Deep in the skin
Sweat and salt water
Let it begin
Sweat and salt water
Rising within
Sweat and salt water
Home where I've been
Bridge
Quiet now where the wave has been
Chest still salted, chest still clean
Water finds the low, low ground
Even stillness keeps the sound
Chorus
Sweat and salt water
Deep in the skin
Sweat and salt water
Let it begin
Sweat and salt water
Rising within
Sweat and salt water
Home where I've been
