The Climb Within

The weight is heavy on my back Doubts like stones inside a pack Every step feels twice as far But every scar makes who we are I can feel the wind resist But I know I was built for this Step by step, I rise, I fight Through the dark, I chase the light The summit's not just heights we win It's the climb we make within Fall and slip, still I begin Scaling walls, the climb within Bruised hands grip the edge again Failure's breath against my skin But cracks are where the roots grow strong Every stumble sings the song The harder the road, the brighter the fire I won't stop; I'll climb higher Step by step, I rise, I fight Through the dark, I chase the light The summit's not just heights we win It's the climb we make within Fall and slip, still I begin Scaling walls, the climb within Mountains rise inside my soul Higher peaks become my goal Step by step, I rise, I fight Through the dark, I chase the light The summit's not just heights we win It's the climb we make within Every fall, a breath, a spin I conquer all the climb within Stone by stone, I lift, I mend The climb within will never end
