Uphill

(album: The Balladeer - 2020)

When the road under your feet is dark and feels wrong
And you find yourself lost and all your confidence is gone
And the stars over your head through the clouds won't be revealed
I'll walk with you, even if it's uphill

When the weight of your troubles sends your knees into the dirt
And all your loyal distractions only magnify the hurt
When lonesome doesn't quite define how so alone you feel
I'll walk with you, even if it's uphill

Hard times and landslides are part of life, I know
Like they say, "None of us get out alive"
Whatever ocean you're swimming across, however valley low
Whatever mountains you climb
I'll walk with you, even if it's uphill

Blessed are the times filled with sun, surrounded by your friends
Those days when all the new roads wait right where the old roads end
But should you wake up to Everest right outside your windowsill
I'll walk with you, even if it's uphill

Hard times and landslides are part of life, God knows
We all got some mountains to climb
Whatever ocean you're swimming across, however valley low
I'm right here, I've been right here all this time
And I'll walk with you, even if it's uphill
I'll walk with you, even if it's uphill
