The Crest at the Edge of the World

Verse 1

I wore grooves into the silence

Tracing circles in the dark

Turning over every splinter

Trying to find the missing part

Every “why” became a hallway

Every “what if” led me back

To the same worn patch of earth

And the same familiar track

Pre-Chorus

And the tears came down like rivers

Carving canyons through the stone

I was searching for an answer

In a place already known

Chorus

Then it came

Like sunlight spilling over stone

Like finding out the cage was open

Long after I’d called it home

I could feel the future gathering

Just beyond what I could see

And when it finally reached me

I laughed

And the laugh set me free

Verse 2

I knew exactly where I stood then

And the road beneath my feet.

All the roads I hadn’t traveled

Opened up in front of me

All the songs I hadn’t written

Drifted softly on the wind

Wonder gathering at the ridgeline

Like a storm about to begin

Pre-Chorus 2

Like a storm beyond the mountains

Rolling golden through the sky

I could feel the world returning

Before it reached my eyes

Chorus

Then it came

Like sunlight spilling over stone

Like finding out the cage was open

Long after I’d called it home

I could feel the future gathering

Just beyond what I could see

And when it finally reached me

I laughed

And the laugh set me free

Bridge

At the crest, at the edge of the world

The horizon opened wide

Every valley filled with sunlight

Every shadow washed aside

I thought freedom was an answer

Waiting somewhere to be found

But it rose beneath me laughing

When I finally set it down

Final Chorus

Then it came

Like sunlight spilling over stone

Like finding out the cage was open

Long after I’d called it home

I could feel the future gathering

Just beyond what I could see

And when it finally reached me

I laughed

And the laugh set me free
