📝 Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I was raised by a screen full of oceans and wings
By a patient old voice naming marvelous things
The beetle, the glacier, the blackbird, the whale
The small bright kingdom at the end of the trail

[Pre-Chorus]
He never said worship, he only said see
The tooth in the river, the root in the tree
Attention is love with its eyes open wide
A window held up to the breathing outside

[Chorus]
One more blue world turning in our hands
One more tide writing warnings in the sand
If you love it, look before it goes
Carry the window where the wild light grows

[Verse 2]
A hundred candles burn blue in the dark
And the last reel opens like a match to the heart
It says this is not memory, this is not past
This is the living thing asking to last

[Pre-Chorus]
From coral cathedrals to foxfire rain
Every small miracle arrives with a name

[Chorus]
One more blue world turning in our hands
One more tide writing warnings in the sand
If you love it, look before it goes
Carry the window where the wild light grows

[Bridge]
I know I have wasted more beauty than I saved
Walked past the garden, looked down at the grave
But the old voice is steady, and the morning is strange
Saying you can still turn, you can still change

[Final Chorus]
One more blue world turning in our hands
One more tide writing warnings in the sand
If you love it, look before it goes
Carry the window where the wild light grows
One more blue world, don't let it close
Carry the window where the wild light grows
