Once Climbed
If you have ever been
To the desolate streets
of crazy town
Or if your mate in life
Has ever passed through
there
If you've ever known
The long and dark
storms of shell shock
Or fought off a massive
Dirty, white crack
gorilla on your back
If you've lost your
soul mate
Or a tender, sweet
child
To the drifting sands
of time
You have been through
Some of the worst
storms
That wander the Earth
Mother
And if you look at
where
There are the deepest
scars
You'll see that out of
them
A light softly now
shines
There you'll find as
much strength
As you'll ever be
needing
My friend, you've been
to where
The shit is piled up in
drifts
Thirty feet high
Rest easy at most
everything else
Life sends your way
They are but rolling
hills
Compared to the ragged
And lonely, gray peaks
You've had the occasion
To once have climbed
