when you get to the top

When you get to the top

You expect to find roses

You expect to feel a rush

Of power and satisfaction

When you get to the top

You expect to be standing alone

For all others have failed

And all others have fallen along the way

All but you.

When you get to the top

You become invincible

Unbreakable

Unbeatable

Untouchable.

But when you get to the top

The winds will still be in your way

And the sun will still be

Just as bright

And you'll realize you were not the first

To make it

Nor will you be the last.

When you get to the top

You are high enough to see

There are other heights

Higher than you

And when you get to the top

You come to see

That no mountaintop, no limit

Will ever be enough.
