From the recording In the Absence of Color
Lyrics
Climb
Verse 1:
My shadows always out in front of me
Darkening every path I see
Lurking there just beyond my reach
Lies the good life that's been taunting me
This battle will always be uphill
An endless fight forever testing my will
Just as I start to make some ground
A falling stone comes my way and knocks me down
Chorus:
Higher I'm determined to climb
'Til I reach this paradise of mine
Nothing here will keep me from my dream
The more I overcome the higher I will climb
Verse 2:
I want to know where this road leads
Look ahead to see what's in store for me
This hardened skin I must peel away
Reveal the walls blocking me from this change
Now I fight this beast in my way
I won't look back I won't make the same mistakes
What lies behind this unopened door
Is the path I've been afraid to walk before
Chorus:
Higher I'm determined to climb
'Til I reach this paradise of mine
Nothing here will keep me from my dream
The more I overcome the higher I will climb
Through this change I'll run
Until I rise above
The more I fight for life
I know the higher I will climb
Chorus:
Higher I'm determined to climb
'Til I reach this paradise of mine
Nothing here will keep me from my dream
The more I overcome the higher I will climb
Through this change I'll run
Until I rise above
The more I fight for life
I know the higher I will climb
The strength is in my dreams
That build inside of me
No battle is ever won
By an army of one
