[Verse 1]
Boots tap gravel, dawn still blue
Pack strap biting, sky peeks through
Steam from my breath, like a war-flag wave
Trail cut narrow, but my heart feels brave
Pines lean over like they’ve heard this hymn
Ridge line grins as the clouds go thin
Sweat on my brow, dirt on my hand
Every step sayin’, “Own this land” (hey!)
[Chorus]
From the valley to the summit of the wild
I was crawling, now I’m shouting like a child
Every scar, every slip, every mile I bled through
Just to stand on this edge with a brand‑new view
Raise that howl till the old stones shake
If your fear’s gonna break, let it break
At the top of the world, where the wind cuts through
I finally see forever
And it looks like you
[Verse 2]
Switchback serpent, coiled in stone
Legs run empty, but my will’s full-grown
Old bones echo in the canyon’s throat
Hear them singing, “Keep your hope afloat”
Sun rides higher, beats my back
Rope of faith keeps my thoughts on track
Laugh at the slip, kiss the scrape it gave
Every little stumble just a notch on the blade (oh yeah)
[Chorus]
From the valley to the summit of the wild
I was crawling, now I’m shouting like a child
Every scar, every slip, every mile I bled through
Just to stand on this edge with a brand‑new view
Raise that howl till the old stones shake
If your fear’s gonna break, let it break
At the top of the world, where the wind cuts through
I finally see forever
And it looks like you
[Bridge]
Yeah, I came from the lowland, mud on my name
Heart full of thunder, hunger and flame
Climbed through the doubt, through the cold, through the rain
Told that voice in my head, “I’m a runaway train”
Now my boots on the brink, sky under my feet
All the ghosts of my past kneel down, take a seat
Hear the chorus of the peaks sing, “You made it through”
Every mountain that I conquered brought me closer to you (woah)
[Chorus]
From the valley to the summit of the wild
I was crawling, now I’m shouting like a child
Every scar, every slip, every mile I bled through
Just to stand on this edge with a brand‑new view
Raise that howl till the old stones shake
If your fear’s gonna break, let it break
At the top of the world, where the wind cuts through
I finally see forever
And it looks like you
