I wrote this song in order to express how important the Wilderness was in the process of achieving peace through genuine freedom. These lyrics were inspired by the sensation of reaching mountain summits high above the clouds where below only the towering peaks of granite of neighboring monuments share the horizon. My Dad Ray Harwood filmed this video on our road trip through the high Cascade Mountains of Oregon and Washington.
Lyrics Written By Bryan Harwood
Above the Clouds
Here I stand before the threshold of a man
New truth and knowledge for all that I am
And I try to fully understand
My purpose that burns as a passion for the land
The wisdom that she holds from within
Her whispering spires that keep drawing me in
The energy and life in which I depend
The glory of the truth Amen!
My soul is my conscience my heart and mind make me
whole
To listen to the spirit within is to receive the peace
and transcend
Rise up from the distractions of a darkened world of
sin
The wilderness is calling us home it is time to listen
and live
It is time to listen and
live, it is time feel and love,
It is time to understand, It is time to step up and
give!
Here I kneel before the alter of stone
The heart of the mountain my temple my home
And I know the answers I seek
Are easily found for I’m no longer weak
My heart pounds strong with the force of the sun
My melodies of nature shall not go unsung
The acceptance of freedom will guide me to see
That wilderness is truth and peace victory
And I fly through this gift of life with a smile
For the blessing of sight and feeling is pure
I fear not the darkness for I have the light and
To shed the truth is my reason to serve
I soar above the clouds of doubt
For contentment has lead to my identity
I embrace the beauty of life and existence
I glide on wings of serenity
