Jewel - Quiet Warrior lyrics

rate me

Standing in a circle the wolves have come

But they won't bother her, no

'Cause dancing with her hands of leaves she'll sing for them

And ease their hungerin'

She's a quiet warrior.

Standing at the ocean's stoney shores

The waves all worship her

She stands in trust and lets the night swallow her

Because she knows that she's a piece of the sun

And a quiet warrior.

You ask her where from the wind blows

She'll say it's how the sky sings

And you ask her how does the sun rise

She'll say 'cause you desire it to be seen

And you ask her how does she make your heart fly

And she'll tell you, you know why

She's your quiet warrior.

Ravens they rest on his golden crown

And steal your soul

He smiles and it feels like you've known him

Yes it feels like coming home

He's a quiet warrior.

And roaring silently he's a lion

And he'll hunt for you

His eyes are warm because his hands they are made of light

And they seduce your soul

He's a quiet warrior.

You ask him where from the wind blows

He says that the earth breathes

And you ask him how does the sun rise

He'll say that she's got wings

And you ask him how does he make your heart fly

And he'll tell you, you know why

He's your quiet warrior.
