Upward Climb

Intro:
-“Now I realize my free time is more than rare.”

1st Verse:
-“The mountains remind me, I still have peace inside. Where no one can find me, that’s where I want to hide. Then connection occurs between the things we all call soul, body, and brain. Climbing upwards and upwards, in some words, I know this might sound strange but… Nothing can come close to the way I push myself. Cuz when I get pushed I push back. I react just like anyone else. Something seems to feed this emotional imbalance. Well maybe it’s just me but life is quite enough challenge for me.”

Chorus:
- “Questioned much in life. Tested on what’s right, no one to cheat off no more. Searching for that light, but constantly it’s night how come I’m feeling so poor.”

2nd Verse:
-“Blue ridges like lining of colors stained in glass, a picture of silence that no one thought would last. Isn’t that what they say about the things that grow up grow old and get gray? Something that contains vibrance and beauty is sure to fade away. This ordeal’s like a hike that my body’s predestined to fail. To past the test of time is to take your ride off rail and move on to the next stop, the station of my choosing. But if I turn around then, this all might consume me for good.”

Chorus:
-“Questioned much in life. Tested on what’s right, no one to cheat off no more. Searching for that light, but constantly it’s night how come I’m feeling so poor.”


Bridge:
-“They stand for something that we don’t believe in, it’s something we don’t see. They are not ready for our intrusion, its something they don’t see.”


-“All this time I thought I had plenty to spare. But now I realize my free time is more than rare.”
