Sunrise Over Mountains Lyrics
by Aria Voss
The pale gold light creeps over the ridge, Touching every stone and every bridge, I've been walking since the night was long, Carrying nothing but an unfinished song. Bare feet on the frost-covered ground, The whole world holds its breath without a sound, And somewhere in the valley far below, The river still remembers how to flow.
Sunrise over mountains, paint my shadow tall, Let the morning break me so I don't fall, All I ever needed was this open view, Sunrise over mountains, I was born for you. Sunrise over mountains, wash the darkness clean, Show me every colour I have never seen, In the quiet hour before the world wakes through, Sunrise over mountains, I was born for you.
I left the city with its noise and weight, Traded all the clocks for something great, The cedar trees don't ask me where I've been, They only show me all the sights I've seen. A hawk cuts circles in the amber air, It doesn't need a reason or a prayer, And maybe I was looking all along, For this exact moment in this very song.
Sunrise over mountains, paint my shadow tall, Let the morning break me so I don't fall, All I ever needed was this open view, Sunrise over mountains, I was born for you.
Maybe we spend our whole lives searching For a light we already knew, Standing at the edge of the horizon, Finding out the edge was always you. Finding out the edge was always — home.
Sunrise over mountains, I was born for you. Sunrise over mountains, I was born for you.
