lyrics

Sitting in the shadow of a mountain,
while the grizzlies run these city streets,
and the sight is so astounding.
It’s hard to believe what we can conceive,
given the means.

Well how could I contribute to this?
I’m not capable of such a feat.
How could I live up to this,
when I can’t even climb
inherited designs?

But if I can put one foot in front of the other,
I will find my way to the top.
If I can conjure strength to keep on climbing,
despite the bruises,
I’ll get to the next rock,
and try to remember that
when I look back.

While on this trail I’m always looking
for a break in the trees for me to see the increase,
but if I look down
I’ll lose my footing.
The harder I grind
the more is on line.

So I’ll stay on the path,
like a maniac,
with only my wits
to ward off an attack,
and it comes in fits
anxiety’s a trap,
but it will crack
if it’s unpacked.

If you accept the fact
that your mishaps
are often mismatched
and not mapped
onto a reality that has
a universality of impact,

you will find peace of mind
and the time your confined to
might do, suffice to
make the progress invite you
to fight through.
Any process you rise to
fortifies you.

But if I can put one foot in front of the other,
I will find my way to the top.
If I can conjure strength to keep on climbing,
despite the bruises,
I’ll get to the next rock,
and try to remember that
when I look back.
How far I’ve come
to be where I am at.
