The Summit - Oh, Sleeper

From here I see clear for miles

Searching through our best times to force a smile

My blood is leaving, but the sun’s still shining

And I can’t see a cloud in sight

I can see our own, but they won’t get here in time

Every man has a mountain

And every day is spent climbing

The view from the top

Is just the journey that brought you

And you’ll give it all up

For one more day at the bottom

At the summit you’ll wish

That you were anywhere but here

It’s clear

That every man has a mountain to fear

I hear they could see the fire for miles

But I don’t know if you’d known the cost if you’d ever light it

It took your two different banners on the frontline burning

And I ain’t put a cloud in sight

If you knew you’d die alone, would you ever stand to fight?

Every man has a mountain

And every day he spends climbing

The view from the top

Is just the journey that brought him

And he’d give it all up

For one more day at the bottom

At the summit he’ll wish

That he was anywhere but here

Ain’t it clear

That every man has a mountain to fear?

I don’t wanna close our eyes

I don’t wanna go our separate ways

I don’t want the story that brought us here to end today

I don’t wanna close our eyes

I don’t wanna go our separate ways

I don’t want the story that brought us here to end today

'Cause the view from the top

Is just the journey that brought us

And I’d give it all up

For one more day at the bottom

At the summit I wish

That I was anywhere but here

It’s so clear

But I guess every man has a mountain to fear
