They call it freedom I call it fame New city lights New borrowed names They see the road They praise the view
They think this life is something new But I was built for steeper ground I feel most alive when the walls close down The dreamer must I need to rise I read my truth in heart and skies I know the price, I know the cost But don't call me broken Don't call me lost I chose this road, I chose this heat I chose the fire beneath my feet
I'm not made for staying still I'm not built for a quiet life My home is forward, my blood is restless I come alive in the highest climb I don't need comfort, I don't need ease I need the fire that tests me deep I'm not made for staying still I was born for the climb, I keep
A cup of terror, silent bloom Can feel too soft, can spell my doom Some men need shelter Some need sleep I need a dream that cuts me deep Too much peace can make me fade Too much calm can dull my blade Give me pressure, give me height I find my soul when the stakes are high
I know the weight, I know the strain But this still whether in, inside my veins The frame is hard, the edge is steel But that's the kind of life I keep I'm not made for staying still I'm not built for a quiet life My home is forward, my blood is restless I come alive in the highest climb I don't need comfort, I don't need ease I need the fire that tests me deep I'm not made for staying still I was born for the climb, I keep
Don't pull me back Don't make me small I need the weight, I need it all Not out of fear Not out of pain I choose the road again, again, again Give me the height, give me the strain Give me a sky that threatens rain Some call it hard, I call it mine Some fear the edge, I call it life
I'm not made for staying still I'm not built for a quiet life My home is forward, my blood is restless I come alive in the highest climb I don't need comfort, I don't need ease I need the fire that tests me deep I'm not made for staying still I was born for the climb, I keep
They call it hard, I call it mine They call it too much, I, I call it life
