Beyond the Quiet Horizon

There was a line where the sky would bend

Touching the sea at the world’s far end

We used to stand on the hill and stare

Breathing in open air

Your shadow long in the golden light

Mine just a step behind

Every question we couldn’t name

Carried on the wind

If we could fold the fragile hours

Keep them in our hands

Would we dare to cross the line

Into distant lands?

Beyond the quiet horizon

Where all our echoes run

There is a place our hearts began

Before we learned to run

Through the silence and the thunder

Through the dark undone

We are more than what we lost

More than what’s to come

Beyond the quiet horizon

We are one

City lights like scattered stars

Dreams parked in passing cars

Every road we chose to take

Left a quiet ache

Time was never on our side

Still we let it ride

Through the breaking and the bloom

Through the empty room

Even when the colors fade

Even when we’re torn

There’s a glow beneath the skin

Where hope is born

Beyond the quiet horizon

Past the fear and doubt

There’s a flame we tried to hide

But never put out

Through the winter and the fire

Through the rising sun

We are more than shattered glass

We are not undone

Beyond the quiet horizon

We belong

Maybe love was not a vow

Not a forever now

Maybe it was just the way

We stayed

When the night was closing in

When we couldn’t win

Still we held the fragile light

Through the night

Beyond the quiet horizon

Hear the mountains call

Every tear and every scar

Was worth it all

Through the falling and the flying

Through the rise and fall

We are standing in the light

Standing tall

Beyond the quiet horizon

We are free

Every broken memory

Turns to melody

Through the silence and the storm

Through eternity

There’s a line where sky meets sea

And it waits for me

If tomorrow takes you far

Follow every star

I will find you in the glow

You already know

Beyond the quiet horizon

Where the brave hearts run

Every ending writes a start

That’s just begun

Through the distance, through the years

Through what we’ve become

There’s a place that holds our name

In the sun

Beyond the quiet horizon

We are home

There was a line where the sky would bend

We’ll find it once again
