I climbed a mountain and I looked down below. Maybe I could have stayed up there longer if I hadn't looked down on you. I climbed a mountain, leaving my past on the ground below. Why did I feel the need to look down there? I was so ready, so eager to start anew. I climbed a mountain but I stumbled when my fears began to show. I hesitated, backpedaled, faltered, and fell through. Down... down... down... to the bottom of the mountain, back to my old ways, on the ground below. Maybe I could have stayed up there longer if I had climbed the mountain with you.

I'll Climb Again
I climbed a mountain and I looked down below. Maybe I could have stayed up there longer if I hadn't looked down on you. I climbed a mountain, leaving my past on the ground below. Why did I feel the need to look down there? I was so ready, so eager to start anew. I climbed a mountain but I stumbled when my fears began to show. I hesitated, backpedaled, faltered, and fell through. Down... down... down... to the bottom of the mountain, back to my old ways, on the ground below. Maybe I could have stayed up there longer if I had climbed the mountain with you.
