Higher In Time

The mountain is steep

The ditches are deep

The task in hand

Is making us weep

But here's a promise

I intend to keep

Seed it in your mind

And say it each night

Before you sleep

We will climb higher in time

You've got a head full of trouble

And a ship to build

You believe you won't make it

But you know you will

You feel you need your

Cup refilled

Well fill it out of mine

We'll drop the defenses

Pool our skill

And we will climb higher in time

Well I've been to the bottom

I've been on the train

I've slept in the gutter

With my head in a drain

I've been brutally proud

I've been mortally shamed

But this is not a crime

I'm just learning my friends

That it's all in the game

And we will climb higher in time

Higher in time

Higher in time
