lovedOh, father flame
Your enchanted prince dreams of your embrace
And will not be denied
Oh, mother dust
shade me from the burning sun
stop my breath with your pervasiveness
if ever I forget your power
Oh, father fire
I love you so
draw me close about you
reveal to me my true family
Oh, mother dust
I send this wish
paint us with your humbling mantle
remind us of our similarity
Oh, father fire
light my way and keep me warm
your song calls
and I am coming
