Lyrics

The Stepping Fires (The Coyote Song)
Words and Music by Keram Malicki-Sanchez (ASCAP/SOCAN)
VERSE

The final straw came on so fast
I was lying in the bath
Realizing my confusion
Nothing seemed to make it right
I sat in darkness the whole night
Fought that battle with the mirror

Until I saw
Like putty in my hands
The more I play
The more that I can shape it
And all that I need
Is just a good idea
To know that I can make it

But stop
And remember that
Nothing is set in stone
I’m playing with time
In between my hands
I can bend all that I know

CHORUS

When you believe that
You’re a setting sun
That the race is run
That the fox has won
When your whole world
Comes undone
Just remember you mould
The shape of things to come

VERSE 2

So it should come as no surprise
That the fire burns my eyes
And the pain is overwhelming
Now I’m standing in this
Stepping fire to bliss
The rock beneath my feet is melting

Like putty in hands
But the more I can stand
The more that I can take it
I’m watching the storm
Come across the land
And I will hold my ground and break it

But stop and remember that
Nothing is set in stone
I got nothing but light
In between my hands
I am more than flesh and bones

CHORUS

When you believe that
You’re a setting sun
That the race is run
That the fox has won
When your whole world
Comes undone
Just remember you mould
The shape of things to come
