arms outstretched
    standing on the mountain-top
            looking into the sunset
life was beautiful today

      my muscles are sore
the climb was hard
             but here I stand
gazing far into the distance
      it was worth the effort
now that I'm up here
           breathing in the pure air
the wind playing through
        my hair and over
my face
                all I can think is
life was beautiful today

  I might have lost sight
            of the final goal
       a few times
stumbled and fallen
          but I got up again
       and climbed on
now I stand here
        and it was worth the sweat

   from up here
          I can see just how
        beautiful
    life is

today I conquered
               a mountain-top
tomorrow I might find
   myself in a valley
         where my view is
      obscured

     the highest mountains
precede
            the deepest valleys
        but the best view
comes after the hardest climb

  I prefer mountains and valleys
           to endless plains
give me a challenge
        I don't want a placid life
               I love looking into
   sunrises and sunsets
      from mountain-tops
