Who the hell ever thought I’d see the apex
Looking back on the detritus of a climb
Surveying the summit of my ascension
I let myself feel just a ripple of pride
It took way more crutches, crawling, and clutching
Than I imagined at my journey's nadir
I feel the clean air for a moment longer
I guess it’s time to go find my new mountain

I let myself feel just a ripple of pride
It took way more crutches, crawling, and clutching
Than I imagined at my journey's nadir
I feel the clean air for a moment longer
I guess it’s time to go find my new mountain
