Lyrics

Trailhead started in the noise of my head
Full pack, old doubts, all the things I never said
First mile felt like carrying last year
Every switchback just another fear
Rocks underfoot, lungs start to burn
Tree line watching every slow return
Part of me kept asking why I came
Another part just kept repeating my own name
Step after step, every thought gets thin
All the heavy things I brought begin to spin
Clouds part a little and the sky grows wide
Something in my chest starts to feel like it is on my side
Up here in the thin air, I remember I am alive
Wind in my lungs, sunlight in my eyes
Valleys spread out like the map of everything I thought would win
But it all looks smaller from where I am standing
Up here in the thin air, nothing feels the same
Problems lose their edges, I forget my shame
For a minute all I feel is breath and sky and light
And I am glad I stayed to climb this height
Boot prints fading in the dust behind
Old voices get quiet in my mind
I turn around and see how far I came
Every tiny doubt still standing in the frame
My legs are shaking but my heart feels clean
Like the world finally fits inside this scene
All the things I could not sort below
Settle into patterns in the distant glow
Step after step, every noise drops out
Till it is just my pulse and this lookout
Clouds pull back and all the lines seem clear
For once I know I want to still be here
Up here in the thin air, I remember I am alive
Wind in my lungs, sunlight in my eyes
Valleys spread out like the map of everything I thought would win
But it all looks smaller from where I am standing
Up here in the thin air, nothing feels the same
Problems lose their edges, I forget my shame
For a minute all I feel is breath and sky and light
And I am glad I stayed to climb this height
I know I have to go back down the trail
Back to traffic lights and unread mail
But some part of this view will come with me
A quiet little echo when I cannot see
When the walls feel close and the days feel long
I will hear this altitude inside a different song
Up here in the thin air, I remembered I am alive
Carried that feeling back into my life
Valleys and the weight of everything I thought would win
Do not seem as final as they did back then
Up here in the thin air, I met my own name
Without all the hurry, without all the blame
And I know when the climb feels hard some other time
There is still a sky like this waiting at the top of the climb
