Rocky Mountain Cry

In the splendor of the mountains, blue sky, white snow
Answers hidden that Ive yet to know
Arrived near death, to run away
Emotional breakdown, a crushing day
As I took cover in the Rockies , a snowstorm arrived
And trapped me in seclusion, to help me survive
I walked, I wrote, I fell apart
Trying to heal, the wounds in my heart
And the scars in my mind, that were killing me
As I watched the snow fall silently
The snow soon melted, the path soon free
From the cold and the ice that was hiding me
Drove through the desert, drove just to think
No pills, no smoking, no liquor to drink
Just me and the rage, and the pain and the hurt
And I picked up the pieces that were shattered in dirt
Unplugged and disconnected, from family and friends
Screamed and I cried, and I reached my wits ends
Drove an icy path, through the mountains so high
And confronted myself, with the want to die
A small turn of the wheel, and Id lay down the law
And not a soul would have found me, until the spring thaw
I stood at a canyon, of black looking down
Reflecting on my life, which had come crashing to the ground
I held on to the guilt, of the mistakes that I made
And the lie that I covered, with the price that I paid
So I murdered the lie, by throwing it to the wind
Off the cliff of the canyon, and begged forgiveness for my sin
From that moment on, I began to heal
And the war inside was over, and I began once again to feel
The night before I left, a bigger snowstorm fell
As if to wipe the world, of the private hell
That I went through alone in those mountains of stone
Reclaimed my soul, which was again mine to own
As I left the mountains, the snow hid the terrain
And the path that I traveled, and the strength that I gained
