There's one word that has
eluded us all
many may claim to have reached it
some may claim they have seen it only
to have it ripped away
I've come so close many times before
being young I have never truly reached it
it seems there is
an invisible Mountain
to climb
to fall off
to simply come to a standstill by the base of it
No, it's not the future
No, it's not love
No my dear,
this word is much more complex
it can drive someone
or simply drive someone insane
No, it's not life
No, it's not money
it is nothing in your world
or maybe it is
perhaps someone has had it
No my dear, I don't believe they have
you see this word
this simple word has made powerful men
crumble
beg
weep
simply put
die
this word is in fact a mountain
once you think you can climb this
mountain of a word
something or even someone stops you
once you think you have a foothold
It can slip out from under you
your rope can snap
then you're free falling
back down to
where we're waiting for you
my dear, this word has made
Empires fall
monarchies burn
hope die
my dear, we're all free falling
through the abyss that is life
this word is simple
seven little letters can make the world
perilous
this word my dear,
is success
