Today I climbed a rock
while of my life I tried to take stock,
and while I was climbing I was thinking
that I can't go on sinking.
There is a bottom to every trench
every loose nut can be tightened with a wrench.
And so it's time to remember the strength of my past,
all loose ropes to make fast,
adjust the tiller and steer to the new course
and remember that happiness comes from more than one source.
