Up

Far from the ground

But farther still from the top

I'm tired but I can't let go

So I must just go up

I'm getting more impatient 

The more that I climb

And my limbs are getting weaker

All I do is try

And I'm not sure I can reach

But all I can do is go 

Up

Up

Up

And hope that I will be okay

Climbing high is scaring me

But the ground is so much worse

Cause here no one can catch me

And I know that it will hurt

When I get to the top

And have to go 

Down

Down

Down
