Elevation

30 years late but 6 months shy
Trying to find a way
To make up for the missing time
12 miles long and 3 miles high
Nothing else compares
With how it feels to make the climb

When the lightning strikes
Across the summer sky
When the thunder crashes
And you're scared you might die
The road you see
With your naked eyes Is calling your name
Calling your name

Now you're standing above the clouds
Elevation, elevation
Feeling like you're dreaming out loud
Elevation, elevation

Step by step, mile by mile
Every minute getting
Closer to the timberline
Aching feet and a crooked smile
Looking from the mountaintop
Makes every single step worthwhile

When the lightning strikes
Across the summer sky
When the thunder crashes
And you're scared you might die
The road you see
With your naked eyes Is calling your name
Calling your name

Now you're standing above the clouds
Elevation, elevation
Feeling like you're dreaming out loud
Elevation, elevation
