I was once low enough to live my life on an ocean, seeking my maids at sea
Then a night in song with sirens lifted me on a savior's wing
A new life in telephone lines and words defined information exchanging
With bell ringing punctuation and capital interest in each other's existence
So far from up here I can see forever, in graceful serenity
I climb to set foot upon mountain top, no taller place I've been in the world
And I'll make my home and plant my seed, live a way which sees you happy
I'm up here with my Everest
I stare across my heart into the stars I seek in the sky of your eyes
Wanting and wishing my winters to end so you don't have to feel the cold again
Your summer winds sooth from the south and I continue climbing to peak tops
And never look down or back or wonder about the person and places I've been
So far from up here I can see forever, in graceful serenity
I climb to set foot upon mountain top, no taller place I've been in the world
And I'll make my home and plant my seed, live a way which sees you happy
God said at the tip of his tongue was a waiting list upon which I was waiting too long
Hard had been the climb for me to see these stars align, but the universe was in your eyes
So he beckoned me to my knees, to hone the earth I am, to preach upon the stars you are
Marry me
Upon her cheek a tear did drop, like a forest rain unto my decades of drought
The settling dirt is a mountain called Everest, and this ring I call my earth
