[Verse] Boots bite into stone Ribs full of frozen air I watch the timberline fade Like the horizon in my stare The trail keeps rolling up But my chest feels afloat One hand on the rock face One foot onboard [Pre-Chorus] The cliffs lean back And the sky breaks blue My shadow flies Like a wave crashes through [Chorus] I’m sailing this mountain I’m sailing this mountain Way up where the hawks cry And the thin winds answer I’m sailing this mountain I’m sailing this mountain Salt in my smile Stone for an anchor [Verse] The ridge swings open wide Like an emerald bay Sun on the granite banks Wash my footsteps away I should feel the weight But I feel the glide Every breath takes me higher On a rising tide [Pre-Chorus] The cliffs lean back And the sky breaks blue My shadow drifts Like a wave crashes through [Chorus] I’m sailing this mountain I’m sailing this mountain Way up where the hawks cry And the thin winds answer I’m sailing this mountain I’m sailing this mountain Salt in my smile Stone for an anchor [Bridge] When the fog rolls in I lose the line A crow slices through I keep on climbing No harbor below No shore in sight Just the waves on the mountain [Final Chorus] I’m sailing this mountain I’m sailing this mountain Way up where the hawks cry And the thin winds answer I’m sailing this mountain I’m sailing this mountain Salt in my smile Stone for an anchor I’m sailing this mountain I’m sailing this mountain Higher than a main sail And steady as the north star Sailing this mountain (Sailing this mountain) Sailing this mountain (Sailing this mountain)
