Do you feel the winds of change?
Put your best foot forward;
do not go backward;
the chance is uphill.
You can feel it, too.
I can tell that the feeling is true;
you have been climbing that same mountain.
For some of us, it takes 23 years;
and for some of us, it takes 37 years.
But we are on that same mountain;
I am running up to you, now.
I do not see anyone else;
my eyes are wandering;
they have been wandering a while,
but all I see from a distance is you.
The highest mountain was very hard to climb.

Oh...was this a challenge!
For a year I was challenged by
bumps in the road;
falling rocks, and water slides
a mist that clogs up my eyes.
But I kept going because I knew
from a distance, I would meet you, again.
I am going nowhere;
I am not giving up;
I will crawl on my knees if I have to.
You are the reason why I am climbing this mountain;
the highest mountain, why?

Why am I so burdened?
My hope is built on the rock;
and much love is flowing from the springs.
Oh, I found the strength;
I will be right there;
I am running up behind you,
but I will catch up with you.
Do not look too far back;
I am only right here.
I told you, I will go nowhere;
I will never give up.
Here we are, together- in truth,
it is time to face our fear;
look down there;
all that trouble we left behind.

I am ready to make that promise;
that promise I made a year ago.
You are in my heart now;
you are going nowhere.
We made it to the top;
we finally have done it, dear.
No time to look back now.
We did what we need to,
and thanks to you;
I can love you with my true sense of heart.
The angels were saving me from disgrace,
but even then, you let me in.
It was not time;
we had to climb the highest mountain.
