Campfire Lessons

(continuation, adjustment, learning to live inside the climb) Verse 1 Same mountain, different morning Light moves softer through the trees I still don’t know where it’s going But the wind speaks differently I found water in the silence Learned the language of the ground Turns out rest is not surrender It’s how the lost are found Pre-Chorus I stopped racing toward the summit Stopped demanding it make sense There’s a rhythm in the waiting There’s a grace in residence Chorus If I’m here I might as well stay Build a fire from what I’ve known Lay my armor by the river Let the climb become my home Maybe meaning isn’t higher Maybe peace is where I stand Not the top of any mountain Just learning this land Verse 2 I watch shadows change their shape now Hear the birds before they fly Every breath feels like a teacher Every step a softer why The path still turns without permission Still unknown and still unclear But I’m learning how to listen To the wisdom already here Pre-Chorus I don’t need to chase the ending Or define what waits ahead There’s a quiet kind of living In the places once I fled Chorus If I’m here I might as well stay Make the wildness feel like rest Warm my hands against the present Let the climb become the test Maybe value lives in walking Not the view I cannot see Maybe peace is understanding The mountain walks with me Bridge I thought the peak would hold the answer Like a crown I had to earn But the fire I built in stillness Was the thing I came to learn Outro I don’t rush… I breathe slow… The path becomes the place I go
