Climb

Maybe I'll die of this

Determination to reach the highest peaks

Yet what I seek is not to be found

In these valleys

I can barely breathe the air up here

Still I climb higher than my fear

Still I find lighter, my steps each year

And maybe there's nothing waiting

For the moment I can see the world around me

Save the knowledge I am free and

That's enough for me

To keep moving, keep improving

Against the weight of those who prayed

They'd slew me

Cause maybe I'll live like this

A feeling I take on my faith exists

That what I dream is sure to be seen

From beyond what clouds me

I can barely see what lies before me

Still I know that what's for me

Is not the stillness of sleep

So I'll give in to heaven

One more dance with progression

That what I've sworn is mine to hold

Might surface above the snow

I can live no more without my soul

So I press on through wind and cold

So I dig my fingers into the stone

To that I know, may leave me alone

That I know, will lead me home.
