"Was this life just a game?" I will ask myself
On the day that I will die
Did I lend my hand to heal this tragedy
Or was I just a passerby

Pain of existence and my superstitions
The preachers and politics will be gone
But the music will live on

Cause I've been climbing
On up this mountain
With great persistence
Through solar systems
World on my shoulder
They bought and sold her
I'm moving on now
Don't need to come down

Was that girl that I knew even worth my time?
Was it time that wasn't real?
Did my brain chemistry lead me astray?
Did I have a soul to steal

Deluded, eluded, secluded, I brooded
My mood was dictated, I never saw
But the music, it lived on

Cause I've been climbing
On up this mountain
With great persistence
Through solar systems
World on my shoulder
They bought and sold her
I'm moving on now
Don't need to come down

Cause I've been climbing
On up this mountain
With great persistence
Through solar systems
World on my shoulder
They bought and sold her
I'm moving on now
Don't need to come down

Cause I've been climbing
On up this mountain
With great persistence
Through solar systems

World on my shoulder
They bought and sold her
I'm moving on now
Don't need to come down
