[Intro]
Footprints in snow, a quiet march begins
A black dog wanders where the white stretches thin
[Verse 1]
The mountain rises sharp, a blade of pale resolve
Dark fur against the frost, a will that won't dissolve
Breath like winter smoke, eyes toward the distant peak
Every step a whisper, every sigh a foundered streak
[Pre-Chorus]
If fear is a shadow, I walk it so, alone but brave
If sorrow is a compass, I follow where it paves
[Chorus]
On this white road, I carry the night inside
The black dog learns to breathe, to trust the rising tide
Through icy winds I climb, toward a kinder light
Toward the peak where silence heals, and wrongs become right
[Verse 2]
The ridge grows narrow, the horizon pale and clear
The dog finds a rhythm, trekking through the quiet fear
Snow sings of endings, yet promises a new dawn
Each pawprint a vow that I can carry on
[Pre-Chorus]
If doubt is a river, I wade through, steady as I go
If pain is a weather, I face it, let it blow
[Chorus]
On this white road, I carry the night inside
The black dog learns to breathe, to trust the rising tide
Through icy winds I climb, toward a kinder light
Toward the peak where silence heals, and wrongs become right
[Bridge]
A chorus in the blizzard, not of sound but of change
The dog and I become one path, a single wider range
[Chorus]
On this white road, I carry the night inside
The black dog learns to breathe, to trust the rising tide
Through icy winds I climb, toward a kinder light
Toward the peak where silence heals, and wrongs become right
[Outro]
At the crest, the snow gives way to dawn’s soft gleam
The dog lays down the shadow, and I wake from the dream
