There are times that we are un-reconciled to ourselves Shameful, blameful of ourselves. Some shelter in the rain On our path of self disdain I aim to go. I aim to go.

Tall walls, confine around me Seal the path, constrict around me So I climb onto the slippery ledge. I fear the path I tread, but I aim to go.

I’ll take it slow Watch it grow I’ll take it slow But I aim to go!

Because, Some of us choose to live And some of us choose to die And some of us choose to climb above it.
