Reaching the top
Translations available in: English (original) | French | Spanish | Italian | German | Portuguese | Swedish | Russian | Dutch | Arabic

The moment I think I have it all figured out
Is when I've taken two steps forward
And one step back
I am on the plateau of the mountain
Sinking farther into the surface of knowing nothing

If I believed I knew everything
It would be a sad day
Because the learning would stop
There would be nothing to strive for
But mere mediocrity
And that's something I'm not
And noone ever was

Until someone told them they couldn't go a step further
And they believed it
That believing it part is the strong part and the wrong part
If they never believed that someone how much futher could they go
And how much sweeter would reaching the top be
When they see the shadow of that naive soul looming in the distance
The shadow of disbelief fading from the horizon

And no matter how much you know it will never be enough
Unless you say it is
How sweet it is to know you can never stop trying
And be OK with that
Because you are what you are;
A cliffhanger by choice

And no matter how far you've made it up the mountain
You can find solace in knowing there are people above and people below
You are surrounded by greatness
And fellow hikers who are willing to catch you when you fall
And to those that wouldn't
I say take your hiking boot
And push them off your mountain
