The Rope the Clouds Let Down Verse 1 I was twenty-five, chasing empty skies, A hunter with a scope, but no place to aim my eyes. Every road looked painted by a dream I couldn't read, A masterpiece of silence growing louder inside me. Friends were all around me, laughter filled the air, Yet my soul kept searching for its missing twin somewhere. Night after night I'd whisper to the moon above, "Tell me why my heart has forgotten how to love." Pre-Chorus Then the clouds took pity on a restless man, Lowered down a rope with invisible hands. Chorus I climbed above the noise, above the fear I knew, High enough to watch my whole life come into view. I saw the roads I'd chosen, the ones I left behind, The serpents round my neck that slowly stole my mind. Oh, heaven gave me vision, the earth gave me the test... Knowing where to go means nothing If you walk the old path again. Verse 2 I came back carrying maps for a brand-new start, Blueprints for tomorrow folded inside my heart. But the moment my feet kissed the dusty ground, Old habits wrapped around me without a single sound. Promises are fragile when comfort wears your face, Chains can feel like blankets in a familiar place. Every night I covered up beneath those poisoned dreams, Wondering why the morning looked exactly as it seemed. Bridge No mountain changes travelers, No vision breaks a chain. The smallest step of courage Outweighs a thousand plans. The war is never out there, It echoes from within. Every dawn begins the day You finally begin. Final Chorus So if the clouds should find you, And lower down their line, Climb until your broken world Looks smaller from the sky. But don't just bring back answers, Don't let the moment fade. A life is not transformed by dreams— It's changed by choices made. Outro The rope still hangs inside us... Waiting for the climb.
