For The Love Of High Places

For the love of high places
Like it says in the book
From the very first dawn
We have climbed up to look

Where the bushes once burned
And the bold eagle flies
Where the prophets once spoke
And the earth meets the sky

From the summits we earn
We can see far and wide
And then, if we dare
We can see deep inside

In the grand Himalaya
Brave men battle for breath
While the frozen winds blow
Through those castles of death

We will always look up
When we sing our best graces
And we all live our best
For the love of high places
