The Climb
I can hear you breathing The fear has got you tense Like a baby teething Cause the pain is so intense You skipped a step your trying No stone can be unturned Now your mother’s crying You cannot win; it burns What is that your after Ask, do you have a plan Here’s a better offer I can take you by the hand Night and day there’s no light There’s nothing left for you Like a poor man’s last bite The sky reflects your blue(s) You’ll have to climb so high to see what you can be There’s no denying you that none of it is true Let me paint the picture And put it on display They’ve rewrote your scripture And have stripped the good away Now go a little deeper Unveil the real design Climb’s a little steeper Dragon’s behind the signs You’ll have to climb so high to see what you can be There’s no denying you that none of it is true Let’s break this down and talk about the choice we’re given The world goes round with little thought we’re all forgiven Now I hope you see things And maybe just the fringe Puppets dance from their strings The truth how it makes me cringe See it and you’ll be free Please cross this great divide Come on in it’s your key Now you can see they’ve lied You’ll have to climb so high to see what you can be There’s no denying you that none of it is true Beyond Judgment
The hourglass has emptied, yet remain some grains of sand And every mistake compounding now, you’ve failed to understand As you now find yourself, cornered and alone Wondering what yours crimes are … those you must atone Every story's allegory Better read between the lines The truth is fleeting, bears repeating Buried in the sands of time Time keeps ticking down it spirals around Brings us back to where we are found Minutes turn to hours and days to years Will you live your dreams or cave to all your fears It’s your destiny to fly and try Can’t deny your fate, the open sky These empty spaces have been haunting me and so I have tried so hard but yet find, still can’t just let it go These open spaces, see the walls continue closing in We’re fed a feast of their lies; I’m not meant to win Campbell and his monomyth Horus on a hieroglyph What is old is jung again Ending where you once began You know you can’t climb the mountain With so much doubt in your heart Let alone learning to fly You wouldn’t know how to start It’s all a fractional spectrum In what your eyes can see But if you saw it all, you’d know You’ve always been free It’s a bait and switch a story of how we came undone I am not the only victim here, they eclipsed our only Sun Unveil the light and warm my skin, it’s begun to take it’s tole A prison of my own doing, it’s time free my soul Time keeps ticking down it spirals around Brings us back to where we are found Minutes turn to hours and days to years Will you live your dreams or cave to all your fears It’s your destiny to fly and try Can’t deny your fate, the open sky Can’t deny your fate, the open sky Can’t deny your fate, the open sky We're so Close
Have you Ever felt as though You’re a guest in a place And like no one can see your face Your smile Is buried so deep It is there but within Afraid that someone sees your sins Where to The direction’s lost Now you stumble and pause You feel like you’re a worthless cause It affects Just who you can be It is holding you back You need to makeup for your lack So, please don’t be afraid It’s all about to fade Just Go, take this leap with me We’re so close to be free Forgive Please forgive yourself You’ve been punished enough See these times they been tough You are You’re much more to me It’s okay to get down Just as long you come a-round So, please don’t be afraid It’s all about to fade Just Go, take this leap with me We’re so close to be free So how can I step out of this The rain keeps coming down My mind is playing tricks on me I know the sun’s around Just breathe Let pain wash away It is not as it seems You can be what’s within your dreams Fear not Cuz you’re not alone We have all fallen prey I’ve Nothing more that I can say So, please don’t be afraid It’s all about to fade Just Go, take this leap with me We’re so close to be free (We’re so close to be free) When Somedays
Where the shadows once obscured my path The light that blinds us now absolves the wrath And even darkness; nothing really lasts What is love but some cosmic math You come to find now, the answer’s in You lose the war you tried so hard to win Then you learn; begin again So go without a doubt now, my lonely friend When someday this war is won Lay your sword and drop your gun It's you you'll find was killed in vain 'Cos you and I are both the same When the light shines, it comes from you And all the good that you’ve tried to do And though mistakes were very far from few In the end, it’s brought me here to you (And even darkness; nothing really lasts) When someday this war is won Lay your sword and drop your gun It's you you'll find was killed in vain 'Cos you and I are both the same Eternal flame is mounting higher consumed within the sacred fire Here we are, we’ve made a life Inside us all lie day and night Light to dark the future is the past And nothing ever really seems to last But the love we make we give and share pass it forth and with the torch we bear And where the shadows once obscured my path The light that blinds us now absolves the wrath And even darkness; nothing really lasts What is love but some cosmic math When someday this war is won Lay your sword and drop your gun It's you you'll find was killed in vain 'Cos you and I are both the same And when someday we’ve found our way And there’s little left to say Maybe then we’ll live in peace Yeah, maybe then we’ll find release I hope you get the best of me We must fulfill our destiny Gotta Come Together
Can you hear me calling, cuz I’m not that far away Enough to hear the silence echoes and decays The space between us refusing to subside Not afraid to face this unknown Cross this great divide Shift your view I beg you It’s all here plain to see The fight you wage unknowing Nothing is for free Gotta come together It’s your destiny to fly Hand in hand we’ll weather All you need’s to try Like a candle burning But your ember is so dim The light is soon to fade out Your future, well it’s grim Gotta come together It’s your destiny to fly Hand in hand we’ll weather All you need’s to try Come, come together We, love another It’s time to put down your stones Look, look what’s happened See, we are brothers Now it is time to come home Can you hear me calling, cuz I’m not that far away Enough to hear the silence echoes and decays Gotta come together It’s your destiny to fly Hand in hand we’ll weather All you need’s to try Looking Glass
Life through a prism Of ever bending light Infinite paths before you So which will you ignite? Life seen in a mirror Distorted and reversed Door into another realm A multiverse can be found Can you win the battle The wage for all men’s souls Fought across all time and space And have since long ago As you now look back Well all is clear to see And visions of what’s possible It fills the void to be The prism which you peered And bent the beam of light All is shown in technicolor Division of the fight Can you win the battle The wage for all men’s souls Fought across all time and space And have since long ago So we climb the ladder and fall A time or two trying to reach beyond And punch the firmament through But should we one day fly on Electro-magnetic wings And didn’t have the need for ladders or silly things We could fly straight up to see Beyond the other side and know what we Had sought had always been inside As you face high noon The showdown’s in your heart The shadow you know so well You’re shot playing a part So see the Great Divide It started there with you Heal the rift within and know The prism is always you Can you win the battle The wage for all men’s souls Fought across all time and space And have since long ago All lyrics and music copyright 2022 Christopher Parkes & Brian Kumm, All Rights Reserved
