i'm sitting way up high  
on this mountain taking in the view 
you're out there wearing a smile  
on your mountain too  
now the wind is blowing stronger 
and we know we have a bit more to climb 
but the view right now is opening... opening up 
opening our eyes 

(we know) 
there are oh so many more  
many steps until the top 
and so we both surrender  
to a picture from higher up 

our vision's growing wider 
out over the trees of the world we knew 
and the trails we followed for miles 
only echoes in the altitude  
and as the veils that hid are essence 
are blown away like specks of fire and gold 
we're getting closer going higher becoming smaller 
so much smaller 
like the stars along the road 

(we know) 
there are oh so many more  
many steps until the top 
and so we both surrender  
to a picture from higher up...
