Lyrics
Verse 1]
I have never climbed Everest, it's true,
But I've scaled peaks in shades of blue.
Emotional ranges, heights unknown,
Mountains carved from the heart alone.
[Chorus]
Oh, I am a climber, through wind and through flame,
Scaling life's ridges, no two are the same.
I gasp for the air, but still, I remain,
For I am a climber, unbroken, untamed.
[Verse 2]
The rocks of health, they cut and they sting,
Steps so steep, you feel each swing.
Personal summits, with scars to show,
The valleys beneath, where shadows grow.
[Prechorus]
Every ascent, every deep, trembling sigh,
A battle of will beneath the wide sky.
[Chorus]
Oh, I am a climber, through wind and through flame,
Scaling life's ridges, no two are the same.
I gasp for the air, but still, I remain,
For I am a climber, unbroken, untamed.
[Bridge]
The summit's not the measure of worth,
It's the journey that proves our rebirth.
Each stumble, each slip, each fragile hold,
Turns the ordinary into gold.
[Chorus]
Oh, I am a climber, through wind and through flame,
Scaling life's ridges, no two are the same.
I gasp for the air, but still, I remain,
For I am a climber, unbroken, untamed.
