if I can’t be your mountain peak, I will a valley be
I’d rather lower low than go, choose mediocrity
the people and the places upon which you cannot sow
have never shared a common thread with anything I know
if I can’t be your valley, I will never be your peak
I’d rather be the soil you felt underneath your feet
the people and the places upon which you can plateau
have always been the ones and twos I’d rather leave alone

if I can’t be your mountain peak, I will a valley be
I’d rather lower low than go, choose mediocrity
the people and the places upon which you cannot sow
have never shared a common thread with anything I know
if I can’t be your valley, I will never be your peak
I’d rather be the soil you felt underneath your feet
the people and the places upon which you can plateau
have always been the ones and twos I’d rather leave alone
mountains, valleys and plateaus
