eryn allen kane - sawt al-hurriya lyrics

sawt al-hurriya
a bird sings from no fly zone between the temples, churches and mosques
shoulder to shoulder with heaven, above the guns below
she is a ballad in the chest of an open sky
born of coral clouds
the wind that blows through a quiet in the streets
a niching in your throat
the flag trembling in a cage
is still a prison murmuring, sobbing in the distance
scarlet dust on featherless flesh
breathing debris and ash, scattered bones, sweat, city
sad songs, she is a sound that hungers
to soothe, to touch the truth with sweeping wings in the shape of a prayer
god is not a promised land
is how we reason love beyond borders and bridges wicked with treaties
there’s a language for boundaries crossed by foreigners unwelcome
we curse them in spirit, talk, song, glance, and dance
whispered in stories of children listening
humming relics of survival, a shrill utterance
courage is a melody arranged by pulse or purpose
hovering over waves of hope and peace
what flies and flies, recurring echoes of dreams
the voice is a weapon, a howl that rings in your ears
and wonders if you have a heart to stand in
