Lyrics

EVEREST

By: Jim L'Esperance

Every May, hundreds pray to go to Everest’s peak
Knowing well that they may sell
Their lives for what they see
Well I get the need
To feel that pain
And find what lies beneath
They leave behind the broken lines
To let the soul run free

Set it free
Set it free
Take a lamp into your soul and find the deep
Fear the cold
But let it go
Set it free

Every year some pioneer
Goes rumblin' out to sea
Lookin for the home of Neptune
Lookin to be free
Maybe trek around the world
Maybe lost en' route
Not knowin' what they’ll find out there
But never once in doubt.

Set it free
Set it free
Take a lamp into your soul and find the deep
Fear the cold
But let it go.....
Set it free

Where’s the meaning?
What’s to gain?
Why are we all here?
Where’s the hope that causes them
To put aside their fear?
Or are they lost in search of something never to be found?
The shallow gaze
The fleeting praise
With no one else around

Set it free
Set it free
Take a lamp to to your soul and find the deep
Fear the cold
But let it go
Set it free

Maybe we must all find truth
Where no one else can see
The remedy of wasted youth
The taming of the free
But I myself need someone else
To share this life with me
And what I find a mile high
Is just enough for me
What I find a mile high
Is just enough for me
