lyrics

Looking up the face of a rocky mountain
Grasping for a ledge
My reflection carved in marble
But I’m on the edge
The air is thin up here
The forest reaches up to fill my lungs
And keep me breathing
Shoes are worn and my legs are shaky
So I dig my heels in

So here I go
I’m steady in the knowledge
There’s so much that I don’t know
Miles to go
But today I just need a handhold

One step forward, two looks back
Trying to stay on track
Always knowing any moment
These rocks could crack
The world looks small up here
The higher up I get I can’t remember
Why I started climbing
My heart’s heavy
But it reminds me
What I’m up here finding

So here I go
I’m steady in the knowledge
There’s so much that I don’t know
Miles to go
But today I just need a handhold

Feels like falling
Every push I see the peak getting farther
Getting harder to breathe
Throw my arms up
And try to touch what’s out of reach

I need a handhold, I need a handhold
I need a handhold, I need a handhold
I need a handhold, I need a handhold
I need a handhold, I need a handhold
I need a handhold, I need a handhold
I need a handhold, I need a handhold
I need a handhold, I need a handhold
I need a handhold, I need a handhold
I need a handhold, I need a handhold
I need a handhold, I need a handhold
I need a handhold, I need a handhold
I need a handhold,
I need a hand

So here I go
I’m steady in the knowledge
There’s so much that I don’t know
Miles to go
But today I just need a handhold
