I can't get over it
I won't go under it
But I have no way around it
So I sit patiently
And I wait, and I wait, and I wait
Wanting to be let through
But knowing that's just too much to hope for
My friends tell me
"Go for it! Give it a shot."
And I tell them they don't understand
My family doesn't say it out loud
But their thoughts ring clearly
And I don't know how to tell them no
Every day I look up at it
Every day I stand at the base
Of this summit I've deemed unconquerable
And I choose not to climb
I know what I want
But I refuse to look for it
Because I know what I have
And I'm unwilling to lose it
