Summit Line

Verse 1

Started low where the air was thin,

Every doubt like a weight on my skin,

They said turn back, said know your place,

But I felt a fire I couldn’t erase.

Hands are bleeding, boots worn down,

Echoes of fear still chasing me ‘round,

But I didn’t come this far to kneel—

I came to find out what’s real.

Pre-Chorus

Every step says I’m still alive,

Every fall just proves I try.

Chorus

I’m climbing to the top of the summit,

Yeah, I feel it in my bones.

No shortcut, no one handed me nothing,

Every inch I earned on my own.

When the wind screams “give it up,”

I scream back “I’m not done yet.”

I’m climbing to the top of the summit—

And I won’t quit.

Verse 2

There were nights I questioned the climb,

Stared at the dark, ran out of signs,

Every promise felt paper-thin,

Every prayer came back with “begin.”

I’ve carried names I couldn’t save,

Lessons carved into every grave,

But pain taught me how to stand,

With empty hands and a stubborn plan.

Pre-Chorus

If the peak costs everything I’ve been,

Then I’ll pay it—again and again.

Chorus

I’m climbing to the top of the summit,

With my heart still exposed.

No crown waiting, no finish line promise,

Just truth in the road I chose.

When my lungs burn and my legs give out,

I dig deeper, I find my breath.

I’m climbing to the top of the summit—

Yeah, I’m still left.

Bridge (breakdown → build)

This ain’t about proving them wrong,

It’s about proving I belong.

Not about how fast I rise,

But who I am when I look down and realize—

I didn’t run.

I didn’t hide.

I stayed when it hurt.

I climbed.

Bridge (full build)

Let the storm come crashing in,

Let the thunder test my grip,

If the mountain wants a fight tonight,

I’m still standing—

I’m still climbing.

Final Chorus (big lift)

I’m climbing to the top of the summit,

With every scar I own.

Every mile says I was never given this—

I built it stone by stone.

When the edge says “this is it,”

I take one more step instead.

I’m climbing to the top of the summit—

And I’m not done yet.

Outro

If I fall, I fall forward.

If I break, I break through.

The summit’s not the point of the climb—

It’s the man I became getting to the view.
