Lyrics
[Verse 1] You tied your laces under a borrowed sign A paper map with half the roads erased The trail climbed out beyond the county line And left the careful answers in its wake [Pre-Chorus] You said, “i’m not sure i can” I said, “you don’t have to know” One step past the painted mark And the whole wide hillside opened slow [Chorus] Go where the red birds disappear Go till the far ridge pulls you near There’s a kind of brave that only starts When your hands are shaking and you move your heart Go, even if the path bends out of view The world gets larger when it asks this much of you [Verse 2] A hawk cut circles over cedar green The compass needle trembled, then held true You laughed at every landmark we had seen Because the best ones never made the guidebook through [Pre-Chorus] The hill was steep and bright The air was clean and thin You found the strength you thought you’d lost Was waiting underneath your skin [Chorus] Go where the red birds disappear Go till the far ridge pulls you near There’s a kind of brave that only starts When your hands are shaking and you move your heart Go, even if the path bends out of view The world gets larger when it asks this much of you [Bridge] If the summit hides behind another rise If the distance takes longer than you planned Let the open country teach your eyes How much horizon fits inside your hands [Final chorus] Go where the red birds disappear Go till the far ridge pulls you near There’s a kind of brave that only starts When your hands are shaking and you move your heart Go, even if the path bends out of view The world gets larger when it asks this much of you [Outro] Keep one small compass in your chest Keep walking past the edge of what you guessed
