The hills I chose to climb

Voice, Full Song, Rhythm / Percussion, pop rock, male vocals, uplifting

[Intro]
[acoustic guitar strumming, ambient electric guitar swells]
(Hmm-mm)
(Hmm-mm)

[Verse 1]
[acoustic guitar, bass enters]
As I grow older in time
Seems to weave the past with present day
Memories stronger in the elder years
Like it's meant to be that way
Past reflections guide me now
On a path I never chose
Every road I have ever traveled
Has shaped it as it grows

[Chorus]
[full band enters, driving drums]
Friends once close have faded away
Like stories over time
Just didn't want to follow
The hills I chose to climb
But it's okay for the paths we choose
We sometimes walk alone
Some were good, some were bad
But I know that I have grown
Sometimes I stand and watch the waves that
Crash along the shore
The perfect rhythm, tranquil peace
Impossible to ignore
I can see the rain and the swaying palms
Farther down the beach
But where I stand is perfect calm
It stays gently out of reach

[Post-Chorus]
[vocal ad-libs]
(Oh-oh)
(Hmm-mm)

[Verse 2]
[drums drop to a simpler beat, acoustic guitar focus]
Life's little flashes of innocent times
The fairy tales and nursery rhymes
Little forts we built outside
Built with laughter, built with pride
Fireflies we caught at night
Open the jar and they all take flight
Playing tag and hide and seek
We always cheated, we'd always peek
When it rained we all got wet
We carried on with no regret
This was life in younger days
Before the stress beyond the haze

[Chorus]
[full band, high energy]
Friends once close have faded away
Like stories over time
Just didn't want to follow
The hills I chose to climb
But it's okay for the paths we choose
We sometimes walk alone
Some were good, some were bad
But I know that I have grown
Sometimes I stand and watch the waves that
Crash along the shore
The perfect rhythm, tranquil peace
Impossible to ignore
I can see the rain and the swaying palms
Farther down the beach
But where I stand is perfect calm
It stays gently out of reach

[Outro]
[vocal ad-libs, instruments fade]
(Ha-ah)
(Ha-ah)
[acoustic guitar solo melody]
[song ends on a sustained acoustic chord]
