Lyrics
[Intro] [Sparse intro: fingerpicked acoustic guitar, soft piano, airy strings] [Verse 1] [Intimate, close-mic'd] The air is thin up on the pass Dry gravel sliding under boots We left the valley far below To trace the old migratory routes No markers on this windy ridge Just yellow grass that bends and sways And every step is like a bridge That carries us to brighter days [Chorus] [Dynamic lift, stacked harmonies, airy pads, light percussion, gentle bass] Oh, the plateau stretches out so wide Under a dome of endless blue We let the heavy winters slide With every breath we start anew Oh, feel the horizon start to gleam A steady light, a sudden spark We're waking up inside the dream And walking out of the dark [Verse 2] [Intimate, close-mic'd] The afternoon is growing cold The shadows lengthen on the stone But there's a warmth in what we hold A quiet strength we've always known No need to look for where we've been The dust has settled on the track The sky is open, rushing in And we are never turning back [Chorus] [Dynamic lift, stacked harmonies, airy pads, light percussion, gentle bass] Oh, the plateau stretches out so wide Under a dome of endless blue We let the heavy winters slide With every breath we start anew Oh, feel the horizon start to gleam A steady light, a sudden spark We're waking up inside the dream And walking out of the dark [Bridge] [Atmospheric, builds tension, piano leads] A high-altitude breeze, a clean slate No whispers left to contemplate Just the mountain crest and the rising heat And the steady rhythm of our feet [Chorus - Final] [First half: stripped to acoustic guitar and voice only] Oh, the plateau stretches out so wide Under a dome of endless blue... [Second half: blooms with full-band energy, subtle melodic piano hook] We let the heavy winters slide With every breath we start anew! Oh, feel the horizon start to gleam A steady light, a sudden spark We're waking up inside the dream And walking out of the dark [Outro] [Acoustic guitar and piano fade out, airy strings] Walking out of the dark... Under the endless blue... [Fade out]
