It's Lonely at the Top

It's lonely at the top

Looking down isn't always a thrill

Sometimes being knocked over is half the journey

Never take the height for granted

Fading into chaos comes sooner than later

Darkness always follows light

There is no shine without shadows

Ups and downs

Valleys and mountains

Medicine and poison

One is never without the other

It's lonely at the top

No one can climb for you

Only provide the next step up

Take the step or fear the leap

Strife and struggle marries success and hope

Tread the slope and take in the view

Because one day what once was so new

Will prove to be the greatest conquest
