Heart in the Mountain

[Verse 1] You drew a line where the old trail bends Said, “Take one step, then take it again” With dust on your coat and a map gone thin You carried the fire we were missing [Pre-Chorus] When the ridge says turn around You plant your feet against the ground [Chorus] You are the one who climbs when the road runs out The one who keeps our names alive through doubt Raise your hand, let the whole valley know There’s a heart in the mountain that won’t let go [Verse 2] The creek ran cold by the cedar stand You gave your last match to a stranger’s hand And when the pass wore a crown of snow You took the lead and you brought us home [Pre-Chorus] When the ridge says turn around You plant your feet against the ground [Chorus] You are the one who climbs when the road runs out The one who keeps our names alive through doubt Raise your hand, let the whole valley know There’s a heart in the mountain that won’t let go [Bridge] No throne, no banner, no easy way Just one more dawn and the choice to stay If the summit breaks beneath your stride We’ll climb beside you, side by side [Final Chorus] You are the one who climbs when the road runs out The one who keeps our names alive through doubt Raise your hand, let the whole valley know There’s a heart in the mountain that won’t let go There’s a heart in the mountain that won’t let go [Outro] You led us home You led us home
