Lyrics

A Spell, A Prayer

Fingertip to fingertip
Eye, to eye
Lay your hip against my hip
Feet entwined
We are here in this moment
And forever more

The freedom of this moment
Echoes to eternity
A lightning strike burned into the retina
Dances forever in the memory

We honour you
We make a spell, a prayer for you (a prayer, a prayer, a prayer...)

We long to arc our arm through history
To unpick every thread
To unpick every thread
We long to arc our arm through history (to unpick every thread)
To unpick every thread
To unpick every thread
We long to arc our arm through history
To unpick every thread
To unpick every thread of pain

We honour you
We make a spell, a prayer for you
A prayer for you
