lyrics

Hard to see things crystal clear
Behind what seems a fading light
So blinded by distractions from the sidelines
Hopeful for what lies around the bend

(Chorus)
Like a broken record ringing in my ear
The only melody is sweet through troubled years
Keep on climbing past the canyon walls
To be taken by the beauty of it all

Throw caution to the wind come rain or shine
Refuge when I’m barely holding ground
What do you see when you hide your weary eyes
Or when you can shake off the dust from good intentions

(Bridge)
Refuge and shelter through Darkness and storm
Just a glimpse of the silver line carries me on
Oh it carries me on
