Where Winter Breaks

Let the whole world know, it hurts like hell.
I
won't let go. Higher still. Let me feel the sun.
I've carried the cold. This joy is hard won.
Won, won, won, won, won, won, won.
Thin air drives nails into my chest.
I haul that ache across the crest.
You hear me breathe, you hear the strain.
There's steel in my grip, I still feel pain.
I hear you. I feel your love through frozen roads.
That burning pull hauls back my hope.
My chest holds a hunger the frost couldn't numb.
I want every heartbeat to hit like a drum.
I feel every pull, I feel every fall.
I climb with that hurt, I climb with it all.
