Lyrics

When my grandfather roamed the trees
he found the towns the maps won’t see
He named them after daughters in the family
planted their names like seeds in wind

No monument, no marble stone
just syllables in fields grown wild
a village whispered down the bone
a river singing like a child

The maps may fade, the trails may die
but names, once sown, will learn to fly
And I, his heir of root and frame
still carry blossoms from his name
