FOREVER ASCENDING
The low lands call
I ¦¦¦ ¦¦¦¦¦¦¦ ¦¦¦ answer
They are ¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦ ¦¦¦ a free dwelling
Without having to conquer
¦¦¦ ¦¦¦¦¦¦¦ mountain makes its move
Beckoning me to ascend
A ¦¦¦¦ ¦¦¦¦ difficult path
¦¦¦ ¦¦¦ up the slippery bend
I cannot choose both
¦¦¦ ¦¦¦¦ a choice to make
¦¦¦ ¦¦¦¦ ¦¦¦ ¦¦¦¦
This will determine my fate
I ¦¦¦¦¦¦¦ ¦¦¦ choose the mountain
With ¦¦¦ its stress and strain
¦¦¦¦¦¦¦ ¦¦¦¦ by climbing
¦¦¦ I rise above the plain
I choose the mountain
¦¦¦ I will never stop climbing
I choose the mountain
¦¦¦ ¦¦¦ ¦¦¦¦¦ forever ¦¦¦ ascending
I choose the mountain
(Blackout of "I Choose the Mountain" by Howard Simon
