Passed up many opportunities Looking for the right thing Found myself under the load Trying to fight my way back up again I stepped up on what was holding me down One thousand steps I made Discouragement was one step After that Each step got harder Self doubt came into play I thought I could was overshadowed By you can't Stop while your ahead The closer I got to the top My body began to weaken I paused for a minute Then continued It seemed I had reached the top It was hard Because my legs were shot What I saw amazed me Just steps And more steps in front of me Believe it or not I didn't give up I persevered Until I was no longer on the bottom But rising like the sun Hot and untouchable Bright and overwhelming Unstoppable
