CLIMBING SHOES
Words and music by Judith Owen
There was a young and troubled girl
Who dreamt of all the things she'd do
When she was grown and put to right
And all her gifts came shining through
She waited long with baited breath
To be discovered, like you do
And with each frustration, each unhappiness
She just put on her... climbing shoes
She watched the others race ahead
The fireworks, the sparks that flew
And every time that the stars alined
She just put on her... climbing shoes
Would you give up all this yearning
Learning what it's all about
Speak without experience
Well would you?
Would you could you?
So you tell me of the latest thing
A shamen in a skin so new
And you ask me why I take so long
To make my deepest dreams come true
(I tell you)
I know exactly who I am
I know exactly what I do
Some people fly straight to the heady heights
Me, I pull on... climbing shoes.
