FREE SOLO lyrics

don't matter if you're brave
don't matter if you're proud
all that matters is your head
as you climb into the clouds

up 3000 feet of granite
up into the sky
a contest only with yourself
if you lose you die

free solo
free solo

at a point you can not stop
not to catch your breath
1st place is the mountaintop
2nd place is death

El Capitan does not forgive
if you lose the bet
you only win if you still live
this you'll not forget

free solo
free solo

there is no why
there is only stone and sky

the world is still the same
bigger than your heart
you must be insane
they said from the start

but when you stand upon the crest
shining in the sun
as it sets into the west
laugh and you have won

free solo
free solo

there is no why
there is no why......

Only yesterday I received an email from National Geographic showing movable panoramic views of Alex Honnold's free solo climb of El Capitan last September. Simply amazing.

These lyrics are worthy of being placed in the documentary.
