Aoife O'Donovan - Someone to Follow

When I look in the glass I can see you there
I can see you around my eyes
So I follow the star in the eastern sky
Coloring the horizon

With the moon in your teeth like a piece of cheese
Crumbling everywhere
And you’re gathering kindling and blackberries
You send up your gilded flare

I know whichever way the wind blows you’re gonna face it
Stand tall, you can be someone to follow- you’re gonna make it

On the night you were born I cradled you
I held you in my arms
And with every planet in Capricorn
I knew you’d sound the alarm

Always fighting the good fight, baby
Picking up whoever’s down
You’re giving them words for their weaponry
You wear the mother of exile’s crown

I know whichever way the wind blows you’re gonna face it
Stand tall, you can be someone to follow- you’re gonna make it, you’re gonna make it
I know whichever way the wind blows you’re gonna face it
Stand tall, you can be someone to follow- you’re gonna make it
I know whichever way the wind blows you’re gonna face it
Stand tall, you can be someone to follow- you’re gonna make it, you're gonna make it, you're gonna make it
