VERSE 1
Well the Bmmountain is steep the ditches are deep
The Atask in hand is making us weep
DBut here's a promise I intend to keep
ESeed it in your mind
And Bmsay it each night
Before you sleep:
Awe will climb     F#mhigher in BmtimeA

VERSE 2
You've got a Bmhead full of trouble and a ship to build
You Abelieve you won't make it but you know you will
You Dfeel you need your cup refilled well
Fill it out of Emine
we'll Bmdrop the defenses, Pool our skill
Awe will climb     F#mhigher in BmtimeA

VERSE 3
Well I've Bmbeen to the bottom And I've been on the train
I've Aslept in the gutter with my head in a drain
I've been Dbrutally proud I've been mortally shamed
But this is not a Ecrime
I'm just Bmlearning, my friends That it's all in the game
Awe will climb     F#mhigher in BmtimeA  
Higher In BmTimeA  
Climb higher in BmtimeA  
Climb higher in BmtimeA  
Climb higher in BmtimeA
