[Intro]
[Verse]
The dust has settled on the porch of broken dreams
The wind is shaking every copper leaf upon the vine
You spent your seasons tracing lines on paper maps
While the river moved along without a single sign
But the heavy sky is parting like an old blue curtain
Revealing paths you never dared to name out loud
The rust is peeling off the gate you left behind
Beyond the shadow of the silver lining cloud
[Pre-Chorus]
The clock is ticking but it does not tell the hour
The seeds are pushing through the frozen garden floor
The only weight that holds you is the shadow cast
By the ghost of who you were inside that locked door
[Chorus]
So lift your feet and feel the spinning of the sphere
The road is wide and hungry for your brand new stride
There is no fortune found in staying where you are
With all the burning light you carry deep inside
Shake the slumber from your weary winter bones
The mountain waits for someone with a soul to climb
Forgive the silence of the years you wasted waiting
And take the holy reins of this remaining time
[Verse]
They told you stories of the giants in the canyon
They told you pride was just a fever in the blood
But the stagnant water breeds a quiet kind of poison
While the rushing torrent washes clean the river mud
It is not enough to simply watch the candle flicker
Or count the pennies in a jar beneath the bed
The world is wider than the fences of the valley
And there are miles of living spirit yet to tread
[Chorus]
So lift your feet and feel the spinning of the sphere
The road is wide and hungry for your brand new stride
There is no fortune found in staying where you are
With all the burning light you carry deep inside
Shake the slumber from your weary winter bones
The mountain waits for someone with a soul to climb
Forgive the silence of the years you wasted waiting
And take the holy reins of this remaining time
[Chorus]
So lift your feet and feel the spinning of the sphere
The road is wide and hungry for your brand new stride
There is no fortune found in staying where you are
With all the burning light you carry deep inside
Shake the slumber from your weary winter bones
The mountain waits for someone with a soul to climb
Forgive the silence of the years you wasted waiting
And take the holy reins of this remaining time
[Outro]
