about

This song was written by Barry Mangione and his online audience during the live web show, Barry On The Spot. Each week the artist and the audience collaborate on a different topic to write a song in 30 minutes. For this show, the audience was given the album art and asked to interpret it into lyrics. Lyrical inspiration for this song was provided by Bianca Mollicone and Gregry Gilroy. Honorable mention to Jackie Muller for helping name the song.

lyrics

Climbing to the top
Each step takes me closer
Climbing away from you
When will this journey be over?

Reaching for the sky
Don't know what I'll find
Reaching up to free my soul
When will I be whole?

Fear stops me in my tracks
The next step seems so hard
Memories hold me back
Can I really see that far?

Reaching for the sky
Don't know what I'll find
Reaching up to free my soul
When will I be whole?

Maybe I should take it slow
Maybe it's not so bad
What if I could just let go?
Could I climb away from the life that we had?

Reaching for the sky
Don't know what I'll find
Reaching up to free my soul
When will I be whole?
