about

I'm in a new role-playing game (think collaborative story telling with dice to introduce a certain randomness and risk) and we were worldbuilding and so this song is supposedly a release by a made up all girl band, Sparx, from shortly after they turned pro. It's just background and minor background at that but I'm really happy with how it turned out.

lyrics

Hearth Fire
By Cat Faber 2019

Welcome to my little town, my friend
I wrecked my first bike on that one way bend
I had my first kiss on that concrete stair
The school where I learned how to read’s over there...

A circle awaits me where I fit in
My little community, kith and kin.
That anchors my heart when I rise and roam:
My hearth fire, my harbor, my home.

If you walk up the ridge in the dusk I know,
You can turn and look out on the lights below,
Shining like gems in the dark and chill;
Sometimes in dreams I can see them still.

A circle awaits me where I fit in,
My little community, kith and kin.
That anchors my heart when I rise and roam:
My hearth fire, my harbor, my home.

I know little towns can be hard and strange
They don’t always change when they need to change
It’s hard to start over when all folks know
Is a shell you broke out of years ago.

And that’s how it happened one autumn day
I said my goodbyes and I moved away,
And made a new home without fear or shame,
With people who valued the me I became.

A circle awaits me where I fit in,
My little community, kith and kin,
That anchors my heart when I rise and roam:
My hearth fire, my harbor, my home.
