The Higher Climb - Celestial Drift

Intro

Oh

Mmm

Verse 1

My fingertips feel cold

These worn and weary palms are blistered now

Empty nights were spent in solitude

Waiting for the sky to shift its hue

Ten thousand hours lived inside a box

Drawing maps across the walls in chalk

Pre-Chorus

The slope is steep and jagged

A massive crown of snow and stone

Everything I carry is heavy

I face the edge alone

Chorus

Take another breath until the lungs ignite

Hold the fading vision through the longest night

Building every brick while no one looks

Turning over all the dusty pages of the books

It starts with a spark in the quiet

It ends with a star in the high heat

Climbing just to see the morning

Climbing just to feel the warning

Verse 2

The valley looks so small

Looking down from where I used to hide

Scars across the surface tell a story

Far away from any hint of glory

Every failure was a secret guide

Pulling back the heavy turning tide

Pre-Chorus

The slope is steep and jagged

A massive crown of snow and stone

Everything I carry is heavy

I face the edge alone

Chorus

Take another breath until the lungs ignite

Hold the fading vision through the longest night

Building every brick while no one looks

Turning over all the dusty pages of the books

It starts with a spark in the quiet

It ends with a star in the high heat

Climbing just to see the morning

Climbing just to feel the warning

Bridge

Soft steps

Deep pulse

Eyes up

Small hands

Wild dreams

True self

Chorus

Take another breath until the lungs ignite

Hold the fading vision through the longest night

Building every brick while no one looks

Turning over all the dusty pages of the books

It starts with a spark in the quiet

It ends with a star in the high heat

Climbing just to see the morning

Climbing just to feel the warning

Massive Cinematic Finale

I am finally becoming

The one I saw in my dreams

Moving toward the peak

Above the broken streams

The summit is waiting

Higher than it seems

Rising slowly rising

Rising through the seams

Every mile is earned

Every lesson learned

Hope is finally burning

The tables are turning

Higher

Higher

I am here now

I am whole now
