As I climb from base misery
to the mountain tops of self-mastery
I'm reminded that to remove my mask
precedes these odes to flow

I found myself
on the fields of defeat
where the corridors of power
never seem to meet

You see, I lost myself again
in that merciless unwind
which is not a new place for me
and has been working me over time

But I don't mind the mountain tops
it's where I long to go
I don't mind the mountain tops
it's where my stories flow

When I told myself again
that it's time to let it go
gotta just allow for it
for that short pause, for the plateau

Cause I don't mind the mountain tops
it's where I come and go
I don't mind the mountain tops
it's where my stories grow

So I told myself again
it's time to mend and sew
gotta try and re-learn those things
I forgot to know

I don't mind the tops but
it's the valleys where I rest
no, I don't mind the tops
but it's the valleys I like best

We don't mind the mountain tops
cause from there we flow and flow and flow
