Verse 1
A poem born in a fleeting breath,
Under Chimney Rock where the red winds rest.
Sedona sky’s a fire-colored dome,
The canyon whispered, “You are home.”
Pre-Chorus
Whispers of the vortex calling me inside,
Time stood still on the mountainside.
Spirits in the silence, stars burning bright,
Whispers of the vortex carry through the night.
Verse 2
We walked beneath Chimney Rock,
Redstone glowing in the fading sun.
Prayer flags swayed in the desert wind,
Each thread of prayer, each color won.
The stupa stood so tall and still,
A tower where the heavens meet.
I felt the hush, I felt the chill,
A sacred rhythm at my feet.
Pre-Chorus
And the junipers twisted, the canyon sang low,
Every step a story only the spirit knows.
Chorus
Whispers of the vortex calling me inside,
Time stood still on the mountainside.
Spirits in the silence, stars burning bright,
Whispers of the vortex carry through the night.
Verse 3
She slipped her shoes off, climbed so free,
Barefoot grace on a rugged stone.
Daisy and I watched in awe,
She turned to me — her eyes changed to amber green.
The city lights like a sea below,
A world of glass in the desert glow.
I saw her pride, I fell to fire,
Her barefoot climb pulled me higher.
Bridge
The night grew darker, but the stars still shone,
Guided by the silence, we found our way home.
Chorus
Whispers of the vortex calling me inside,
Time stood still on the mountainside.
Spirits in the silence, stars burning bright,
Whispers of the vortex carry through the night.
Verse 4
We lost the trail, but we found our faith,
Phone lights glowing in the canyon’s face.
The Buddha watched with a timeless gaze,
Peace in the stillness, love in the haze.
Final Chorus / Outro
Whispers of the vortex calling me inside,
Time stood still on the mountainside.
Spirits in the silence, stars burning bright,
Whispers of the vortex carry through the night.
Born in a fleeting breath,
Under Chimney Rock where the red winds rest.
Sedona skies — a fire-colored dome,
The canyon whispered, “You are home.”
Whispers of the vortex…
Carry through the night.
Conceptual Note:
“Whispers of the Vortex” is the awakening — the point where love, loss, and creation meet under Sedona’s sacred sky. It’s where Emily and California Chris rediscover faith, guided by the timeless hum of the earth. The song bridges the spiritual and the physical: the vortex as both energy and emotion, drawing them inward toward peace, connection, and divine awareness.
