"An acceptance of reality / As it really is and not the way some say"

Step by Step Step by step I will take the hill As surely as the hill has taken me And has taken awhile and will take me still Taking the hill is a matter of the will An acceptance of reality As it really is and not the way some say Who have some axe to grind some tendency Some deficit of curiosity Something less than we care to be We turn out to be extraordinary As good as we dare to be anyway And since I am the one to put a price on me My opinion matters though it hardly flatters So to save myself a false economy I will declare myself priceless and leave it At that then convince myself to believe it Taking the hill is a matter of the will Step by step I will take the hill +Steven Curtis Lance Copyright MMX
