From a canyon I sit looking upward.
Looking upward at your walls of rock.
From a distance it looks so easy to climb...
from a distance.

The closer I walk, the steeper it gets.
As my feet slip and slide, trying to get a grip.
From a distance you looked so easy...
from a distance.

Steeper and steeper you become.
Trying to defeat me, just as I try to conquer you.
From a distance you didnt look so tough...
from a distance.

Obsticle after obsticle... I will not give up.
The steeper you become, the harder I try.
From a distance you tried to beat me...
from a distance.

Stones slipping under my feet...
my hand grips your final ledge, as I climb onto your summit.
From a distance, I wanted to climb you...
from a distance.

Now on top, I look down...
to your canyon below.
From a distance you looked so steep.
Nah, that was only from a distance.
