The Ribbon Path

[Intro]
[Verse]
White breath on winter air
Frost in my braided hair
The siida stays back there
A silent, holy prayer
My father’s herd is still
Beyond the frozen hill
[Pre-Chorus]
I feel the kantele ring
As the winter shadows cling
A song the mountains sing
To the life the stars will bring
[Chorus]
Green ribbons in the sky
Where the ancient spirits fly
The aurora leads me high
To the home where I will lie
Over the frozen deep
While the mountain giants sleep
A promise I will keep
Where the snowy shadows creep
[Post-Chorus]

[Verse]
Wool scarf against my skin
Where the journey must begin
The ice is growing thin
But there is light within
Grandmother’s hands I feel
In a world so cold and real
[Pre-Chorus]
I see the starlight glow
Across the valley snow
Where the heavy rivers flow
It is time for me to go
[Chorus]
Green ribbons in the sky
Where the ancient spirits fly
The aurora leads me high
To the home where I will lie
Over the frozen deep
While the mountain giants sleep
A promise I will keep
Where the snowy shadows creep
[Bridge]
Antlers crusted in the white
Glowing in the solstice night
Every step is burning bright
Guided by the holy light
I leave the world I knew
To find a life with you
[Hook]
Follow the green
Where I have been
Everything seen
Pure and serene
[Verse]
The fjord is calling me
Across the silver sea
Where I am meant to be
In my final destiny
My footprints leave a trace
Of my family’s embrace
[Chorus]
Green ribbons in the sky
Where the ancient spirits fly
The aurora leads me high
To the home where I will lie
Over the frozen deep
While the mountain giants sleep
A promise I will keep
Where the snowy shadows creep
[Post-Chorus]
