To Climb the Mountain of Faith

Ohhh . . .

Ohhh . . .
Ohhh . . .

We begin before we learn
We learn to climb before we crawl
There is a mountain at the start
The start of many standing tall

On the day I raised my flag
Like a vision from a dream
On the horizon I saw you
But many mountains lay between

So I began to climb again
And you can say that I've done well
But there were times I went too fast
And many times I nearly fell

Did the miracle then happen?
Did I climb the highest one?
I could see the world below me
No more climbing, I was done
But I forgot about the valley
And in the sky was sudden rain
So like a fool I caught on fire
To throw my ashes on the plane

Ohhh . . .
Ohhh . . .

I have gathered up my pieces
And I've climbed the nearest hill
It's a private place for dying
But it's connected to you still
And as the smoke it circles around me
Your mighty summit's in a haze
So I close my eyes and remember
While I let my bridges blaze
Ohhh . . .

So I realize my failure
They saved the highest one for last
That I might look upon my future
While this mountain shades my past

So I lie here knowing there's nothing left
But to climb the mountain of faith

So I lie here knowing there's nothing left
But to climb the mountain of faith
