[G] [C] [G] [D] [G] [C] [G] [D]
[G]Sometimes I [C]consider my [G]pace,
I'm re[D]minded of a [G]train gathering [C]speed,
for the [G]climb to the [D]pass
In whose [G]shadow it [C]all really [G]lies,
a small [D]metal [G]wagon ap[C]proaching,
the [G]ever present ascending [D]rise;
to the southern [G]mountains[C] [G] [D]
[G]Reeling and [C]snaking and [G]leaping,
it [D]seems like it [G]wants to come [C]loose,
[G] [D]
But she [G]can't [C]slow down [G]now,
[D]as the [G]earth has [C]presented,
a [G]new crest to [C]reach
without [G]barely a [D]rest;
[G] [C] [G] [D]
And you [G]wonder just [C]what lies be[G]yond,
[D]though you've [G]been there be[C]fore,
and forget about the [G]effort and the [D]strain
[G]Always as[C]cending,
each [G]yard adds a [D]mile,
to the [G]never-ending [C]pull,
of the [G]steepening [D]grade;
that's be[G]fore you[C] [G] [D] [G] [C] [G] [D]
A [G]valley, A [C]forest, A [G]desert, A [D]stream,
with an [G]oversized [C]bridge,
for the [G]trickle there be[D]neath
You re[G]member the [C]torrent,
it [G]turned to [D]last spring,
[G] [C]
and the [G]river it be[D]came;
in the [G]summer[C] [G] [D]
Per[G]haps it is [C]ruined,
[G] [D]
so [G]badly that [C]nothing
will [G]grow without [D]rain
To [G]wash away the [C]blackened soil,
now [G]useless till [D]called upon a[G]gain,
in a [C]future as [G]twisted and [D]far away;
as the next range of [G]mountain[C]s[G] [D]
So [G]take it as [C]far as you [G]see
and be[D]yond,
with [G]eyes you don't [C]use enough,
[G]gather up [D]strength
As [G]Thoroughfare [C]Gap,
will a[G]wait you for[D]ever,
you're [G]seeking to [C]get there
for [G]even be[D]fore;
it's no [C]matter;
no [D]distance;
it's the [G]ride[C] [G] [Gsus4] [G]
