You say the hill's too steep to climb
Chiding
You say you'd like to see me try
Climbing
You pick the place and I'll choose the time

[Chorus 1]
And I will climb that hill in my own way
Just wait a while for the right day
And as I rise above the tree lines and the clouds
I look down, hearing the sound of the things you said today

[Verse 2]
Fearlessly, the idiot faced the crowd
Smiling
Merciless the magistrate turns 'round
Frowning
And who's the fool who wears the crown?

[Chorus 2]
Go down in your own way
Just wait around for the right day
And as I rise above the tree lines and the clouds
I look down, hearing the sound of the faces in the crowd
