240117: Ain't The Fall

from Leap Songs, Part 3 by James Tristan Redding

/

lyrics

Climin' everybody climbin'
Risin' while the water's risin'
Left right left and don't look down
Big old head up in the clouds

Reachin' everybody reachin'
Leavin' behind the demons
Get so high you can touch the angels
Watch out that drop is painful

It's long and lonely ladder
Reaching for the top
But it ain't the fall that gets you
It's the sudden stop

Smilin' everybody smilin'
A silent secret kind of violence
I'll stab your back you stab mine
Because it's all about the climb

Forgotten everyone forgotten
It's rotten down at the bottom
Thick as thieves hearts on sleeves
Need a reason to believe
