The Long Way to Level

作曲：Levi Stoker

作词：Levi Stoker

I started this climb

In the belly of the canyon

With a shadow of doubt

Is my only companion

Every mile I gained

Felt like two miles lost

I've been counting the pennies

And ignoring the cost

The mountain is jagged

And the wind has a bite

And the summit's a ghost

In the middle of the night

But I'm moving my feet through the gravel and stone

Finding a strength I've never quite known

And it's a long way to level

A hard way to flat

I've been down in the valley

I ain't going back

Every valley is deeper when you're carrying the weight

Of a restless heart

And a heavy handed fate

But I'm reaching for the horizon

Where the sun meets the land

Taking life by the throne

With a trembling hand

Yeah it's a long way below

But I'm making my stand

My knees are all battered

My lungs are on fire

Trying to build a life on rusted iron

I've seen men break

And I've seen men fold

Trading their fire for a glimmer of gold

But I'm keeping my head

And I'm keeping my pace

When the dust of the struggle all over my face

You told me the path was a fool's end

But I sleep in the high grass when the climbing is done

And it's a long way to level

A hard way to flat

I've been down in the valley

I ain't going back

Every valley is deeper when you're carrying the weight

Of a restless heart and a heavy handed faith

But I'm reaching for the horizon

Where the sun meets the land

Taking life by the pro's with a trembling hand

Yeah it's a long way to level

But I'm making my stand

Almost there

Don't look down just one more mile above the town

I've been climbing since I was a child

I'm still wild

I'm still wild

It's a long way to level

A hard way to fly

I've been down in the valley

I ain't going back in a valley

It's deeper when you're carrying the weight

The restless fall and a heavy handed fate

But I'm reaching for the horizon

Where the sun meets the land

Taking lives by the phone with a trembling hand

Yeah it's a long way to low

I'm making my stand

Almost little now

Just a little more old
