[Verse]
             
Can we climb t

his mountain
      
I dont know
             
Higher now tha

            
n ever before
             
I know we can 

              
make it if we 

        
take it slow
 
Let's take it 

easy
  
Easy now,  wat

We're burning 

              
down the highw

      
ay sky- line
         
On the back of

 a hurricane
  
That started t

urning
              
When you were 

            
  young
              
When you were 

           
  young

[Verse]
             
And sometimes 

            
you close your

   
 eyes
              
And see the pl

             
ace where you

   But you can

   Every once 

              
in a little wh
