The Climb

(album: I Travel On - 2018)

He's carrying dreams up a mountain
Now he's starting to slow down
It's getting cold
The season's turning soon
It's just high enough to feel
It's getting harder to breathe
He's getting old
What is he supposed to do?

He's too old to reach the top
He's come too far to go back down
He's not lost, he just don't know what to do

Well he's fought his share of wolves
But he shook 'em in the end
And other demons, he's seen a few
He's watched men turn around at the bottom
He's watched men reach the other side
Guess when you're climbing, it's just what you do

He's too old to reach the top
He's come too far to go back down
He's not lost, he just don't know what to do

He may die up here on this mountain
But at least he's gonna die trying
You can see for miles
Man what a view
Now he falls asleep at night
Finding peace under the stars
He's still climbing
He's gonna see it through

He's too old to reach the top
He's come too far to go back down
He's not lost, he just don't know what to do
He's too old to reach the top
He's come too far to go back down
He's not lost, he just don't know what to do
