(Verse 1) I think this time I walk away, Not sure if I should stand or crawl. Sometimes the rain just falls… (and falls)… Till the day begins to fade and bleed, And I’m left with what I still believe… ohhh… (Pre-Chorus) I clawed that hill, I begged for grace, Left my name carved in its face… ohhh… (Chorus1) How long must I climb this crooked hill? How long ‘til the silence learns to kill? I Reached for heaven, I reached for grace, Now I wander this chanted place…. (Verse2) Wind drags secrets through the thorns, Ghosts now wear my broken horns. Every step’s a whispered “why”… I rise, I fall—the hill doesn’t care, But I’ll drag my cross, …even if I crawl up there… (Pre-chorus) I climbed that crooked hill, I’ve conquered it all… ohhh… (Chorus2) I trip, I twist, I fall, Through the whispering shadows’ call. Ghosts they gather, soft and near, I rise, I fall, but I’m still here… (Bridge) Each step… it draws me near. Lonely… so lonely here. I’ve survived this earthly reckoning, Heartache, hardship, every fear. And still… I rise. (Final Chorus) How long must I climb this crooked hill? How long ‘til the silence learns to kill? Reached for heaven, grabbed the blade, Now I bleed where the ghosts turn to rain… I rise, I fall—BUT I’M STILL HERE… (Outro) “The hill doesn’t break… ohh-haa, ohh-haa… It just waits”…. ohhh…
