about

[A personal note from Hannah about the song:] Lady King is a deeply personal song that was born out of a moment of resilience. After contracting a brain injury, I was having the experience of being forced to process the world around me differently. The change in perspective led me to reflect on the question of gifts as responsibilities. What are my gifts in this lifetime and how can I honor that it is my responsibility to give them away? In the midst of these reflections I was also processing a massive horror and grief that had stricken my family. In a healing process around it, I had visions of whales moving effortlessly through the ocean, and I felt a stillness inside that seemed to lead me to this song. It's a powerful song about life and death, friendship and connection, grief and gratitude. The song is about stepping into a commitment to live life.

lyrics

Hijacked by the bloody night
I reach out for your heart and find a whispering
Whispering
Quiet wind whistling

Ocean giants turn around
They seem to follow different sounds, they’re listening
Listening
Soft, wet skin glistening

You were born, you will die, you don’t know why
I was born, I will die, I don’t know why

I was born to be a lady king
I was born to sing

Get up off the floor and come on in
You’re a miracle and life’s a steady sin
A sin
I know where you've been

To have a friend like you could make anyone feel fine
You’re the soothing tea on my winter mind
My mind
We will be alright

You were born, you will die, you don’t know why
I was born, I will die, I don’t know why

I was born to be a lady king
I was born to sing

You were born, you will die, you don’t know why
I was born, I will die, I don’t know why
I don’t know why

I was born to be a lady king
I was born to sing
