They say it's all downhill from here

Don't think it's time to hear that yet

Cause I for one enjoy the climb

So please do not deny me that



These days I'm aging so fast

But hardly growing up at all

So as the last leaf of autumn falls

I'll try to catch it and turn it over



And I will climb a little higher today

Life's already tough so I might as well anyway

And I will climb a little higher today

Though my feet are tired and I can't see hope's face

Let's face the facts, in this world I'll never fly

And if climbing is the closest I will get

Help me climb higher today



I feel like I'm in the middle of two worlds

And both of them they call me a fool

One for believing in You

And Yours because I don't believe



Scrutiny has become my enemy

Picky-picky is all I seem to be

And if I look to close there's scratchy gray

But there's a mountain top when seen from far away*



Might have to bring a change of clothes

Cause on the way I know I'll sweat

But once I reach my Father's house

I'll dress to celebrate all life long

All life long!
