The path to climb a mountain
was set long ago
I hope you’ve learnt it
And don’t make one up on-the-go.
He said, there are lots of different roads
You can take the ones less travelled.
On the left you’ll find the toads
And on the right, a walk of gravel.
Here’s the stop of the tram
Marked with a small green dot.
And if you want a pic for Instagram
You should climb up on that rock.
This one was reviewed on Yelp
And that one was made into a play.
If you get lost, just cry for help
No one will be too far away.
The man shut up so I could leave
And I climbed up, not looking back.
Little by little I started to heave
My own new road, with not one mark.
If someone asks about my walk
I might not tell them where I’ve been.
It will not be an easy talk
I will not show them what I’ve seen.
Here’s a new way to climb a mountain,
The one that you decide.
Right foot in front of left, and continue to the next step
Forget maps, tips and guides.
It’s just you. All by yourself.
