Lyrics

The sky was the color of morning
And the mountains surrounded
The ground as our bed
The spirit would rise without warning
Just to burn like the sun
That would soon warm our hands

And the world was three days behind us
And the world was three days ahead
But for now no one could find us
In the wilderness

Only bound by the burdens we brought
But we were slowly releasing them
Along the way
Pride was the battle we fought
Until we opened our eyes
To the light of that day

The past towered before us
But we could see the top of the trail
So we climbed with strength we're not born with
And we were rising..

We stood on that mountain
We turned to the sky
With trembling inside
We lifted our eyes
And pulling us higher..
Was something divine
That gave us that time
On the divide
It was something divine
That gave us that time
On the divide

So we turned from our view at the top
With a vision so clear
And the sun in our face
And back to the valley we walked
Knowing everything good
Has its time and its place

New life was burning inside us
Still it hurt turning to home
But the same spirit would guide us
That we had seen when..

We stood on that mountain
We turned to the sky
With trembling inside
We lifted our eyes
And pulling us higher..
Was something divine
That gave us that time
On the divide
It was something divine
That gave us that time
On the divide
