The Dizzying Heights Of Our Youthful Ambition

by Evan Murray Buckley


Have we all learned to hide ourselves, have we all learned to cloak the truth
Have we all learned to disappear behind a world of pretty tunes?
I was quiet as a child, I was reckless as a youth
I was foolish as a man, but now in dying I am new


And I got down on my knee, just to bend and tie my shoe
But if I asked you for your hand would you tell me you'd be true?
And i'm sorry I'm not more, but I'm all that I can be
I'm trying hard to be a man who lives like the Good Lord meant for me



Come down, come down, the mountains aren't for you
Come down, come down, and live amongst the truth
Come down, come down, the mountains aren't for you
Come down, come down, there's nothing left to lose


I was quiet as a child, I was reckless as a youth
I was foolish as a man, but now in dying I am new
