I made my own hard luck,
but I'm back on the up and up
Been where it's cold and gray,
thinking I'd never make it back this way
So much I'd forget,
for good if I only could
Don't know how I ever
let it go so far
But I can see the peaks that
the sun has lit
I've got a head of steam
and a mind to love
Summer air
I'm making my way up to the
top of the mountain
I'm on my way up to the top of the hill
I'm powering up to those
blue skies above
From the foot to the top of the hill
I look for comfort for what
I could not bear
I tried to cut and run to
I don't know where
Now my head's on straight,
I've learned to take the heat
Fall seven, rise eight, I'm on my feet
I can see the peaks
that the sun has lit
I got a reason to be and a spirit
that won't ever quit
I'm making my way up to the
top of the mountain
I'm on my way up to the top of the hill
I'm heading on to those
blue skies above
From the foot to the top of the hill
Oh, I know I've done wrong,
but please don't count me out
And the journey's long,
but don't give up on me now
Oh, I know I've done wrong,
but don't put me out of your mind
I've grown strong
I'm making my way up
To the top of the mountain
I'm on my way up
To the top of the hill
I'm towering on
To those blue skies above
From the foot to the top
I'm making my way up to the top of the moun
tain I'm on my way up to the top of the hill
I'm powering on to those
blue skies above
From the foot to the top of the hill
I'm flying now to those
blue skies above
From the foot to the top of the hill
