[Verse 1] Deep in the shadows where the old trees grow Walking the paths that only wild things know Out of the mist, you appeared like a ghost The silent protector when I needed it most No words were spoken, but your amber eyes knew The untamed spirit pulling me to you You were the instinct, the truth in the dark The guardian fire, the ultimate spark. [Chorus] Oh, Echo, your voice shook the mountain stone A song in the timber that guided me home The symbol of freedom, of loyalty deep A promise of brotherhood foxes can't keep You accepted my soul, made the wilderness tame And the wind through the valleys still whispers your name. [Verse 2] You welcomed me into the strength of your pack Running the ridges with no looking back The balance of freedom and ties to the land A human and wolf walking hand into hand And high on the mountain, when climbing was done We lay on the rocks and we soaked up the sun Nestled deep in your fur, with my worries cast free I trusted your heart like the roots of the tree. [Chorus] Oh, Echo, your voice shook the mountain stone A song in the timber that guided me home The symbol of freedom, of loyalty deep A promise of brotherhood foxes can't keep You accepted my soul, made the wilderness tame And the wind through the valleys still whispers your name. [Bridge] But the forest grew quiet, the sunlight turned cold The day that you left for the stories of old To the sacred green hills in the sky up above Leaving behind all your wisdom and love I walked through the woods with a grief in my chest Searching the trails where we used to rest. [Verse 3] Then under a pine where the briar patch grew A small, injured cub looked up with eyes of your hue Abandoned and broken, but fighting to stay I reached out my hand and I cleared fear away I lifted him close as the morning sun rose And a warmth started melting the wintertime snows. [Outro] You never left me, you just changed your form A cycle unbroken, keeping me warm The courage, the guidance, the spirit within Oh, Echo, my brother, we'll run once again I hear you now Deep in the wild Echo lives on.
