Golden Through My Eyes

Verse

Dear younger me, keep looking past the ordinary

You’ll find a road that leads beyond the dreams you carry

One day your feet will touch that faraway ground

And every hope you held will turn the whole world around

Pre-chorus

The morning opens slowly, painted clear and wide

The mountain waits in silence with the sunrise by its side

Then the light climbs higher, spilling through the blue

And all the gold of heaven comes shining back to you

Chorus

I can see it now, golden through my eyes

A thousand peaks awake beneath the rising sky

Orange, red, and green where the wild trees sway

Dreams I kept inside me found their perfect place

Younger me, we made it, look how far we flew

The mountain turned to magic, and it led me through

Verse

The full range rolls forever, every ridge a brand-new song

I stand beneath the colors I had wished for all along

The leaves are bright as fire, then soft as summer rain

A beautiful impossible made real before my gaze

Pre-chorus

I remember all the waiting, all the wondering why

Now the sunrise touches silver and the mountain turns to gold in front of my eyes

No, I never lost you, you were leading me

To the place you saw in daydreams, to the place I had to see

Chorus

I can see it now, golden through my eyes

A thousand peaks awake beneath the rising sky

Orange, red, and green where the wild trees sway

Dreams I kept inside me found their perfect place

Younger me, we made it, look how far we flew

The mountain turned to magic, and it led me through

Bridge

If you’re still dreaming, hold on to the view

The world is saving something beautiful for you

One day you’ll stand there with the morning in your hands

And understand the distance was part of the plan

Chorus

I can see it now, golden through my eyes

A thousand peaks awake beneath the rising sky

Orange, red, and green where the wild trees sway

Dreams I kept inside me found their perfect place

Younger me, we made it, look how far we flew

The mountain turned to magic, and it led me through

Outro

Dear younger me, keep this wonder shining bright

You finally saw the mountain in the golden light
