He's carryin' dreams up a mountain Now he's startin' to slow down It's gettin' cold The season's turnin' soon It's just high enough to feel It's gettin' harder to breathe He's gettin' old What is he supposed to do? He's too old to reach the top He's come too far to go back down He's not lost, he just don't know what to do Well he's fought his share of wars But he shook 'em in the end And other demons, he's seen a few He's watched men turn around at the bottom He's watched men reach the other side Guess when you're climbin', it's just what you do He's too old to reach the top He's come too far to go back down He's not lost, he just don't know what to do He may die up here on this mountain But at least he's gonna die tryin' You can see for miles Man what a view Now he falls asleep at night Findin' peace under the stars He's still climbin' He's gonna see it through He's too old to reach the top He's come too far to go back down He's not lost, he just don't know what to do He's too old to reach the top He's come too far to go back down He's not lost, he just don't know what to do
