People of Devano

Intro

Devano call — oh-oh, heyi ya

Drums like thunder, wool and wind (ah)

Hands held high, we count the stars — ha!

Verse

Children of the valley, we wake the dawn

Braids and laughter, footprints on the lawn

Grannies stitch the colors of our flags

Every line remembers where we’ve sat

Dragons on the ridge, scales like warm bronze

Eyes that know our names, steady and calm

We paint the saddles with stories and bells

Tie little charms where the sunlight dwells

Pre-chorus

Take my hand (take my hand), breathe the sky (breathe the sky)

Trust the wing, feel the old song fly (fly)

Hold on tight (hold on tight), do not fear (do not fear)

The wind will sing what we need to hear (yeah)

Chorus

People of Devano, people of love, oh-oh

People of Devano, ride the good dragons, whoa-oh

People of Devano, hands in the sky, yeah-yeah

People of Devano, we fly together — ho!

Verse

First ride is a whisper of leather and flame

Mother’s braid in my fist, I learn my name

The dragon lowers his head, breath like bread

Warm and steady, he tucks me in his stead

We cross the orchards, kite-strings and song

We collect the clouds where the brave belong

Market bells blink like coins in the sun

We bring back stories for everyone

Pre-chorus

Hear the cedar drum (dum-da-dum), feel the hull (hull-hull)

Feathers and salt on the edge of the world (oh)

Lean into the tilt (lean into the tilt), trust the glide

We ride like truth with the village beside

Chorus

People of Devano, people of love, oh-oh

People of Devano, ride the good dragons, whoa-oh

People of Devano, hands in the sky, yeah-yeah

People of Devano, we fly together — ho!

Bridge

Ta-ta-touch the morning, ki-ki-kiss the flame (kiss the flame)

Skree and rumble, call the old names (call the names)

La-la-lift, la-la-lift, breathe and go (breathe and go)

Ra-ta-rah, ra-ta-rah, wind in our clothes

Chorus

People of Devano, people of love, oh-oh

People of Devano, ride the good dragons, whoa-oh

People of Devano, hands in the sky, yeah-yeah

People of Devano, we fly together — ho!

Chorus

People of Devano, people of love, oh-oh

People of Devano, ride the good dragons, whoa-oh

People of Devano, hands in the sky, yeah-yeah

People of Devano, we fly together — ho!

Outro

Ah-ah-ah, ah-ah — ooh-ooh (ooh)

Devano hums — la, la, la (la la)

We drift, we land, we laugh — ha!
