DOWNHILL RACER song lyrics
by Joel Sattler

skiing down an endless mountainside
all my life is a downhill race
the cold air blasting into my face
to disappear, without a trace

sailing down the road of snow
packed with ice underneath
unto us this much we know
the beauty is all to bequeath

the hiss of slide under my skis
the sun reflecting diamond hills

I am one with light and air
I can take it if I dare
the blue is cutting through the trees
if this is heaven, yes I will

------------------

I was just a little man
When I lived back on the earth
Now I'm bigger than the sky
The center of the universe

Standing still as the world goes by
Stronger than the heart of stone
Taller than the stars that fly
All encompass all alone

The wind is screaming
Am I dreaming?

skiing down the endless slope
high as ever I can be
this is what it means to hope
this is what is free...

downhill
downhill
I am one with light and air
until
until
I can take it if I dare

skiing down the endless slope
high as ever I can be
this is what it means to hope
this is what is free...
