Message From the Mountain - Frameshift

Mount improbable rears up from the plain

Standing tall in the rarefied sky

Once we crawled along its base

It seemed these cliffs could never be climbed

Unattainable heights they tower above

Drive the bravest man to give up

We know it has been scaled before but how

Can you tell me — do you comprehend

Look around the other side

And you will reach a distant land

Who would have thought that you would find

A gradual ascent

Cliffs and echoing canyons

You’d be right to never ever want to try

But if you take it step by step

The long way, it will lead up into, the sky

Are you a man with time to spare

If so don’t be concerned

The back route’s sure to get you there

So tell me what you’ve learned

How do we fit in

It is not just random

Not like a hurricane

That just kept on blowing

Inch by inch we built

This world of wonders

Still we can’t see the top

Don’t know where we’re going

As you go up the hill you look around

And see other wanderers travel

Each on their own going up

Some rest while others struggle

At the top you will find perfection

It’s a place you might never see

Maybe at a different time

Chance brings opportunity, to us

Rise up, go on, until you reach the distant land

Our past seems far below, down the trail

How do we fit in

It is not just random

Not like a hurricane

That just kept on blowing

Inch by inch we built

This world of wonders

Still we can’t see the top

Don’t know where we’re going

Too far along to ever think of turning back

Too far to go to ever stop for rest

What stands before seems far too steep to try

Rise above

And survive

Multiply

And cease to be

How do we fit in

It is not just random

Not like a hurricane

That just kept on blowing

Inch by inch we built

This world of wonders

Still we can’t see the top

Don’t know where we’re going

How do we fit in

Tell me are we sleeping

Can we go another step

And keep on growing
