[Verse 2]
             
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

On the back of

 a hurricane
  
That started t

[Interlude]
             
And sometimes 

            
you close your

And see the pl
