lyrics

In the orange glow of an open fire
Saw your face for the first time
I didn’t know
What you would mean to me
When we set out in the morning

We all were dreamers
Leaving certainty behind
I was restless, always running out
Running from the past
But on that trail
Beneath a wide open sky
Walked a while beside you

Together we chased the setting sun
All that we faced has made us strong
And through it all
You have come to prove
There’s no one braver than you

Red, swirling sand
Ghosts from the past
Erased the tracks that we left
Uncharted land, secrets of a man
Precious as water

That long cold winter nearly took us all
The pass was frozen, every step we took
Seemed would be our last
The dream we shared
And the fire in our hearts
All that kept us from the wolves

Together we chased the setting sun
Our darkest days have made us strong
And through it all you have come to prove
There’s no one braver than you

With words left unsaid
We hang by a thread
Walk together in dreams
As we lie alone

Now every day and night I keep
Listening for words that you won’t speak
And after all, do I still need to
Find someone braver than you?
