The Silent Summit

I'm a Summit in silent light,

A frozen crown in endless white.

I feel their footsteps far below,

They chase a dream they’ll never know.

They carve their paths across my side,

With ropes and hope they place their pride.

I hold a trail so safe and clear,

But none can hear me calling near.

(Chorus)

If they could hear me through the snow,

I'd lead them where no fear would grow.

No dream would die upon my face,

No loss would haunt this frozen place.

If they could hear me through the snow,

I'd guide them where the safe winds blow.

No soul would fall no heart would break,

No life would end for glory’s sake.

By noon the winds begin to rise,

They test the strong expose the lies.

They trust the paths their hands have made,

While safer truths beneath me laid.

(Chorus)

If they could hear me through the snow,

I'd lead them where no fear would grow.

No dream would die upon my face,

No loss would haunt this frozen place.

At dusk a silver mist will fall,

Like quiet tears I cannot call.

For every soul that fades from sight,

I grieve alone into the night.

(Bridge)

I am the stone I’ve seen it all,

Their rise their hope their tragic fall.

I do not wish to see them fail,

I hold the truth within the veil.

(Chorus)

If they could hear me through the snow,

I'd lead them where no fear would grow.

No dream would die upon my face,

No loss would haunt this frozen place.

If they could hear me through the storm,

I'd keep them safe and keep them warm.

No ghosts would linger in the sky,

I'd lift them up and none would die.

(Outro soft spoken)

So I will stand in silent pain

And watch it happen once again

A frozen heart that cannot speak

A grieving ever watchful peak
