A View from the Top of the World

The fire that burns within us

To carry out a dream

Chasing new ambitions

Determined to succeed

To stretch beyond our limits

To blaze a brand new trail

Bold enough to conquer

Brave enough to fail

Sheer determination

Taking nerves of steel

Always digging deeper

Danger all too real

To rise above the challenge

To push to the extreme

To the daring, there can be no in-between

See a view from the top of the world

Take a ride on the crest of a wave

The adrenaline rush over and over again

See a view from the top of the world

All my natural instincts

Are begging me to stop

But somehow I carry on

Heading for the top

A physical absurdity

A tremendous mental game

Helping me understand

Exactly who I am

To face a new adventure

To conquer the insane

Lured into madness

Addicted to the pain

Reaching for the summit

On the threshold of defeat

Rightfully joining

The ranks of the elite

See a view from the top of the world

Feel the wind on the edge of the sky

Take a chance you may die, over and over again

See a view from the top of the world

I begin the blind descent

To a place no one has seen

Returning to the womb

On the fringe of the unknown

A journey into darkness beckons me

Like a blind man in a maze

Who somehow finds an open door

The beauty and the danger

And the yearning to explore

Always keeps me coming back for more

The moment that you recognize

Just where your limits lie

Hanging on the brink of death

You're never more alive

When you reach the pinnacle

The world is at your feet

Welcome to the mind unleashed

The impossible is never out of reach

When barriers are broken, greatness is achieved

Self belief will build a life of legacy
