Reaching The Top Of The Mountain Together

We will start early by walking in the valleys of love

At dawn, when the stars are sparkling far above

Our ultimate goal is to reach the apex of Everest

Together as a family, where we’ll rest at the crest.

We will march on and fight on regardless of the weather

We will strive and struggle every divine second of the hour

We will spend days, weeks, months, years and centuries

Under lowering and rising temperatures, and changing skies.

We will get there in due time, because we are indeed resilient

God told us to take extreme patience, to be strong and tolerant

We will get there together as a community, as a united country

Yes, we will walk under the bright and shining moons as a family.

Reaching the apogee or the top pinnacle of the mountain won’t be easy

We will encounter beasts, bums, mobs, rocks, crabs, snow, sleet and ice

Nothing and nobody will be capable of stopping us. Armed with devices

From God, we will overcome all types of hurdles, hedges or difficulties.

As we hope and dream, we’ll valiantly cross valleys and mounts of love

We will fall, stand up, stomp, sing, and rise under the sparkling stars above

As planned and blessed by the Almighty, we’ll reach the apex of Everest

With our brothers, sisters and neighbors, where we’ll rest wholly on the crest.
