Climbing the mountain

 

To the top!

Step and breathe.

Endless time.

Step and breathe.

Freedom calls.

Step and breathe.

Do not run.

 Step and breathe.

  Do not stop.

     Step and breathe.

       Do not skip.

         Step and breathe.

          Are you close?

            Step and breathe.

                 No not yet.

                        Step and breathe.

                               Just go on.

                                    Step and breathe.

                                           See the ridge!

                                                Step and breathe.

                                                            It’s the top!

                                                                        Leap and breathe.

                                                                                    Fast and breathe.

                                                                                                Breathe and breathe,

                                                                                                         Heart in throat

                                                                                                                     Muscles ache

                                                                                                                                 Wings unfold

                                                                                                                                         There’s the ridge

                                                                                                                                                            …are you free?

                                                                                                                                                Breathe and look.

                                                                                    High above –

                                                Breathe and sigh –

                        One more ridge

               Twice As high!

 Must go on.

Step and breathe.

Cannot rest.

Step and breathe.

             Eighteen years.

              Step and breathe.

                 To the top.

         Step and breathe.

                        Do not run.

                          Step and breathe.

                              Do not stop.

                                 Step and breathe.

                                    Do not skip.

                                        Step and breathe.

                                            To the top

            where you’ll fly.

              Step and breathe.

                 And be free.

                    Step and breathe.

                        To pursue

                           Long-lost dreams

                              Step and breathe …
