Rise To the Top

okay now, I'm getting depressing
I've decided to stop and begin progressing...



I'll look one way as i climb to the top
I'll laugh as I get higher and feel my ears pop

My smile will brighten the world one day
and everyone will look up and they'll say

Who's that girl so valiant and so strong?
Has she been on top of the world for long?

And i'll be gracious, and help them to me
I'll bring them higher so happily

But of course I can't do it alone, I've got someone
Who'll help me, even, else the battle's not won

It's my savior, the Christ, my brother, my all
He's the only one who saved me from that dangerous pitfall


...So come one and all, join me and arise
The stumbling blocks of the world shouldn't be our demise.
