Summit
I've climbed mountains enough times to know
At the summit the clouds can obstruct the view
It can be tough to see the ground down below
Yet so easy to become distracted by the blue
I've left behind the plains of earth to climb
At the top you can forget from whence you came
It's far too easy to then lose track of time
Yet looking down to earth can bring such shame
Some born on the mountain never know the ground
Those born on the ground can always see the top
Regardless of where they've been born or found
One small slip from the summit and down they drop
