Mountain Climbing
The road to glory is steep and thorny
And the wind is tricky and phony
The more I try to reach my crown
It tries to drag my two feet down
Without even knowing that it's there
For, snares are everywhere
If my steps are not placed properly
I may end up as a dim

A Mountain Climbing
A Mountain climbing I will go
over the foot paths
Over the cobble stones
Up and up I go step by step
higher and higher I climb
Over the boulders and over the rocks
Onwards and upwards
to the tip pity top I go.

Mountain Meaning Vi - Emerald Climb
Climbing up
The rugged slope
I follow a rope of mountain creek a map has never found
Cold rapid pulse
I hold from its succulent wrist
Cup my thirst
To the empty canteen of my hands
Sip to lips
My body vibrating against the loose blue canopy
Overhead
Heart pounding
Out of breath
I slip
From the beating sun
To a cloak of Alpine Spruce
Lean to the shaft of

Since childhood I had been this way,

Mountain Climbing
My daddy was a mountain climber
Cause life's a mountain all men must climb
From the foothills of adolescence
To the last days of our lives
My daddy always raised me
To do what I thought right
The lessons that my daddy taught
Have helped me throughout this life
He lived on mountain wisdom
And showed me in my youth much of the same
Said

Mountain Climbing
I’m climbing
Above the canyon…the sun
Hits the rocks
I ascend
As I take risk after risk
UP I GO!
I’m climbing
I rely on my own strength
I’m doing FINE!
I descend
While I urgently hold on
For dear life…
