I don’t know what I’m holding on to
I only know I want to let go
My fingers are bleeding
My hands are slipping
My body is breaking
My spirit wearing... my foothold
Is gone
I don’t know what I’m holding on for
I am blinded by my tears
Crippled by doubt and fear
Is this a mountain I must climb?
What is it I hope to find?
But I’ve made up my mind
I want to get to the other side
I’m not blindly holding on
I am holding on … for dear life
This is a mountain I must climb
This is a mountain...
And I will survive.
