Harbor in the Rough

[Intro] Footsteps press the dust, a quiet drum The wind keeps time where the wild stones hum [Verse 1] I walk the edge of gravity, where cliffs kiss the sky Rough hands of earth carve stories, I listen with tired eyes Cracks in the granite tell me secrets old and slow That even broken ground can teach a heart to glow [Chorus] I find a harbor in the rough and gray Where every loose stone lights a new doorway Alone, I breathe the storm, and somehow I’m found In this rugged cathedral, my feet leave the ground [Verse 2] I trace the lines of weathered bones, rivers frozen in stone The sun strips back the noise till I’m only heartbeat and bone If loneliness was hunger, the canyon feeds me bread of air I taste a quiet hunger turning into color everywhere [Chorus] I find a harbor in the rough and gray Where every loose stone lights a new doorway Alone, I breathe the storm, and somehow I’m found In this rugged cathedral, my feet leave the ground [Bridge] The wind writes names on rock and I respond with breath A compass in my chest points toward hope, not death [Chorus] I find a harbor in the rough and gray Where every loose stone lights a new doorway Alone, I breathe the storm, and somehow I’m found In this rugged cathedral, my feet leave the ground [Outro] So I walk on, listening to the wild confide Solace grows in the silence where the mountains guide
