Текст песни
[Verse 1]
Morning spills across the water
You tie the red cloth at your waist
I hear the market waking slowly
And taste the salt upon your face
[Pre-Chorus]
You say, “Come on, the road is calling”
I take your hand and leave the shore
[Chorus]
Carry me where the green hills rise
Where the river turns beneath the sky
Side by side, through the open land
I will know this place by your hand
[Verse 2]
At the bend, the old bridge trembles
Rain runs silver through the leaves
You laugh and lift your woven basket
While the clouds break over trees
[Pre-Chorus]
You say, “The day is ours for taking”
I feel the earth beneath my feet
[Chorus]
Carry me where the green hills rise
Where the river turns beneath the sky
Side by side, through the open land
I will know this place by your hand
[Instrumental]
[Bridge]
When the long roads pull us outward
When the seasons change their names
I will keep the bend in the river
I will keep the hills the same
[Final Chorus]
Carry me where the green hills rise
Where the river turns beneath the sky
Side by side, through the open land
I will know this place by your hand
You and I, wherever we stand
I will know this place by your hand
[Outro]
By your hand, I know this land
Morning spills across the water
You tie the red cloth at your waist
I hear the market waking slowly
And taste the salt upon your face
[Pre-Chorus]
You say, “Come on, the road is calling”
I take your hand and leave the shore
[Chorus]
Carry me where the green hills rise
Where the river turns beneath the sky
Side by side, through the open land
I will know this place by your hand
[Verse 2]
At the bend, the old bridge trembles
Rain runs silver through the leaves
You laugh and lift your woven basket
While the clouds break over trees
[Pre-Chorus]
You say, “The day is ours for taking”
I feel the earth beneath my feet
[Chorus]
Carry me where the green hills rise
Where the river turns beneath the sky
Side by side, through the open land
I will know this place by your hand
[Instrumental]
[Bridge]
When the long roads pull us outward
When the seasons change their names
I will keep the bend in the river
I will keep the hills the same
[Final Chorus]
Carry me where the green hills rise
Where the river turns beneath the sky
Side by side, through the open land
I will know this place by your hand
You and I, wherever we stand
I will know this place by your hand
[Outro]
By your hand, I know this land
Стиль музыки
Contemporary Papua New Guinean-inspired folk-pop, driving hand percussion and grounded bass, bright interlocking acoustic guitar strums that grow into wide, cinematic chord swells, prominent bamboo flute melodies answering the vocal, celebratory communal energy. Begin with a spare flute-and-guitar motif, build percussion and layered guitars through the verses, open into a powerful singalong chorus, then give the flute a soaring instrumental break before a full, resolved finale. Warm, organic studio mix with clear rhythmic detail and expansive chorus width.
