Lyrics
[verse]
There's a woman who believes that every coin can buy her peace
She fills her rooms with silver, but the silence never leaves
There's a road that climbs beyond the treeline, past the lowest door
If you listen to the wind you'll hear it's calling for something more
[verse]
And it makes me wonder, when the gold begins to fade
What's the weight of all the treasures that we ever made
There's a feeling deep inside that whispers soft and clear
The truth was never distant, it was always waiting here
[chorus]
So climb the stair, don't look behind
Leave the empty crowns of man's design
Every step you take is lighter than the last
Till the shadows of the world are far surpassed
[verse]
Two paths are lying open, but the sign is always plain
One leads through the market, one leads through the rain
Choose the harder passage, though it costs you all you own
For the soul that travels lightest finds its way back home
[bridge]
Feel the ground beginning to shake beneath your feet
Hear the thunder building underneath the heat
This is not an ending, this is where you start
Rising like a fire lit inside the heart
[chorus - building]
So climb the stair, don't look behind
Leave the empty crowns of man's design
Every step you take is lighter than the last
Till the shadows of the world are far surpassed
[outro]
And she's climbing still, higher than the sky
Chasing something truer than the reasons why
And in the end, the only gold that stays
Is the light you carried through the darkest days
