All of my life
I have been climbing a mountain
And been beset often, by vast days of strife
I never quite reach the top
Yet, I keep climbing and I'll never stop

I have been fighting a battle
Sometimes with each step that I take
Fighting off demons with angels
While deciding what to keep or forsake

The vision of truth In my destination
Some days Is so very unclear
Of which paths I should be taking
And of which paths
I should steer clear

No matter how hard this endeavor
Ever it shall become
To get to the top of this mountain
I shall persistently climb

Learning always
From all my mistakes
Until, my journey is done
