Climbing where the silence bends
Sky wide open, no defense
Every step feels slightly strange
Like the ground is set to change
Something in the wind is calling
Not a voice but something pulling
Take what you can carry
Leave what you can’t hold
Every fear is only
a story we’ve been told
I’m not running from it
I’m walking toward the light
Seven steps to freedom
One decision tonight
Shadows shrinking in the sun
What I was is coming undone
Heartbeat counting out of time
Still it feels like it is mine
No more waiting for permission
No more standing at the line
Every ending is ignition
Every fall a different climb
Take what you can carry
Leave what you can’t hold
Every fear is only
a story we’ve been told
I’m not running from it
I’m walking toward the light
Seven steps to freedom
One decision tonight
(Climbing where the silence bends).
