Looking Ahead

The day has come, I see the sun
And wonder fills my life
My head held high, I struggle on
And heed not pain nor strife

I look ahead, "Why not?" I say
It's forward I must go
For progress never will be made
by struggling against the flow

The mountain stands in front of me
The grade is steep and rough
And I could quit and turn around
And say I've had enough

But looking up, I see the top
It is well within my reach
I've set my goals, I've made my choice
To reach that lofted peak

And so I'll take it step by step
And never will I stop
Until my head is in the clouds
And I have reached the top
