Now I have climbed the mountain high
And struggled there to touch the sky
I dreamt of visions I had seen
Somewhere above and in between
But all that time I found instead
These lofty thoughts lived in my head !
Now I have climbed the mountain high
And struggled there to touch the sky
I dreamt of visions I had seen
Somewhere above and in between
But all that time I found instead
These lofty thoughts lived in my head !
Oh Lord, there is so much pain I feel
It goes on and on, forever real
I cannot escape its iron grasp
With each breath I take, it’s like my last.
Sometimes I think it would better be
To close my eyes in lost victory
Because this needs all the strength I’ve got
One of those days that I’d rather not !
