Summit Vanguard

First light breaks on the ridgeline high

Cold air biting under open sky

Pack is heavy but the path is clear

Leaving all the valley noise down here

And the trees give way to the stone and wind That's where

the real climb begins (oh-oh-oh)

Upward we go to the roof of the world Where the wild

storm-banners are unfurled

One foot forward, one breath to hold Climbing through the silver and

the gold (ahhhhh)

High-altitude freeze in the lungs so deep

Every single promise that we chose to keep

No easy road on the mountain face

Just the steady measure of a human pace

We are only dust on a massive peak

Learning how to listen when the giants speak

Upward we go to the roof of the world Where the wild

storm-banners are unfurled

One foot forward, one breath to hold

Climbing through the silver and the gold (ahhhhh)

At the summit we stand

Over the edge of the land
