He climbs up, up, up

And then falls down, down, down

While the crown sits high out of his reach

He knows not what he's doing, so he can't figure out

Why he can't get where he thinks he needs to be

He can't get where he thinks he needs to be

He never took the time to think about it

He's always moving his mind on to different things

He knows there must be much more, he doesn't doubt it

But he can't seem to accept just what this means

He needs to sacrifice his ways to learn

Just what the world can give him

But he's got stubborn in his veins

So he’ll climb up, up, up

And then fall down, down, down

While the crown sits high out of his reach

He knows not what he's doing, so he can't figure out

Why he can't get where he thinks he needs to be

He can't get where he thinks he needs to be

No I don’t blame him one bit for what he's thinking

I’m pretty certain that if I were in his shoes I'd think that too

I'm sorry everything they said was so misleading

But it's okay my friend cause now I'm here to show you what to do

You need to learn from your old ways and keep

The past so far behind you

Let the water flood your brain

And you'll climb up, up, up

While they fall down, down, down

And you'll finally see it all clearly

You'll know just what you're doing, you'll figure it all out

Once you begin to be who you need to be

You'll know exactly what I mean
