[00:00.63]She was born in the hush of tides
[00:04.95]A spark of light cradled by waves
[00:08.97]Rooted in stone breathing the sea
[00:13.65]Her heart pulsed with the rhythm of salt
[00:18.66]Years painted her with the color of storms
[00:21.62]She learned to be silent in the roar
[00:26.30]Not asking for wings to rise above
[00:30.17]But for strength to remain through every gale
[00:34.56]She watched ships fade into distance
[00:38.31]Sails dissolving into the silver mist
[00:42.53]Yet never envied the boundless skies—
[00:46.97]She believed stillness could reach eternity
[01:08.57]Then one dawn
[01:12.62]A swallow swept across the horizon
[01:16.53]Its shadow brushed her quiet soul
[01:20.84]And she knew—flight is not only for the wind
[01:26.76]No longer did she fear the ebb
[01:29.12]Nor the nights of lonely tide
[01:31.53]Within her shell a new world stirred
[01:34.02]A migration written in the heart
[01:37.25]She never truly left the sea
[01:42.95]Yet her spirit soared beyond the waves
[01:45.03]Tears of salt turned into pearls of song
[01:47.00]She and the swallow—born for freedom’s name
[02:09.36]Fate gave her the rock to cling
[02:13.62]And the courage to gaze at the sky;
[02:18.09]Between attachment and release
[02:21.95]She lived as wave as dream as light
[02:29.96]If there’s another life to come
[02:34.29]She’ll be again a heartbeat of the ocean
[02:39.20]Drowned by time yet never dim—
[02:42.09]That is the barnacle swallow’s hymn:
[02:47.63]Born of sea winged by dream
[02:57.99]Silent steadfast eternal as love
