I climb to live
                      not to die
Society has failed me
                      it has failed us all
The Rat Race
                     round and round on the conveyor belt
I have more stuff
                      i am better than you
I need that finished today
                      actually yesterday would be more better
My mind is tired
                      my body is spent
Yes- the White Citadel beckons
                      come to me my child of God
Put one step in front of the other
                       mindless, liberating
Brain is flooded with happiness
                       nothing matters- one step in front of the other
Summit glows in morning light
                       come to me - enter my womb
Eagle soars on the invisible lift
                       raven calls reverberate in the canyon
Freedom, liberation, deliverance
                       I climb to live
                                             not to die.
