lyrics

Mountaineering
Written by Ronan Swift

I’ve been climbing mountains,
I’ve been mountaineering all day,
As I look at these foothills,
I see mountains in my way,

so this life keeps on turning,
It warms you up and it turns you grey,
And the love that you’re yearning
evaporates away,

I’m gonna get it,
I know I’m gonna get it,
I know

If my head can find a foothold, my heart will use its hands,
to push on up this cliff-face and to spy my promised land,
Raise me up to the peak of this sensitive summit
where balance is the key
to the panoramic possibilities within me,

I’m gonna get it,
I know I’m gonna get it,
I know

I’ve been climbing mountains,
I’ve been mountaineering all day,
