Walking on a line, I stumble all the time;
the higher I go the more I realize
I can’t do this on my own;
I can’t do this on my own;
Climbing this mountain will I ever see the top
and this winding path
I just can’t see where it goes;
I can’t see where it goes;
there’s a cross in the road;
there’s a cross and it rose;
Nothing I do can ever bridge the gap before me;
I could try to jump but I’d tumble far below;
I’d tumble far below;
There is a burden I don’t have the strength to carry;
I need a lift, something to ease my load;
something to ease my load;
there’s a cross in the road;
there’s a cross and it rose;
I can’t do this on my own;
I can’t do this on my own;
Venturing forward to the victory that awaits me;
many times I feel discouraged,
but still I know;
still I know;
there’s a cross in the road;
there’s a cross and it rose;
niea nieah ....
