[Verse 1] I have walked where the ice grows thin Holding back the weight beneath Built a road across the wind Stone by stone with borrowed breath Every sunrise steals a little Every winter knows my name The branches learn to bend before They ever learn to break [Pre-Chorus] The sky grows heavier each year Still I stand... [Chorus] When I fall Will the river change at all? Will the mountains even hear One more echo disappear? When I fall Will the silence catch my name? Or will I fade like evening rain Never touching ground? [Verse 2] I've been the fire left burning low Long after everyone had gone The lighthouse in another storm Never seeing its own dawn The roots keep drinking from the dark So every leaf can chase the light No one asks what feeds the roots Only why the forest shines [Pre-Chorus] Every pillar hides a crack No one ever sees... [Chorus] When I fall Will the river change at all? Will the tide remember where I disappeared beneath the waves? When I fall Will the silence know my voice? Or will another morning rise Like I was never here? [Bridge] Even stars surrender light Long before the morning knows Even mountains lose themselves One grain at a time Everything that's holding on Is already letting go [Final Chorus] When I fall Will the branches break my fall? Or will the wind just carry me Beyond another empty dawn? When I fall Who will notice something's gone? Or was I only ever... Holding up the sky?
