[Verse 1]
You say the hill’s too steep to climb
Chiding
You say you’d like to see me try
Climbing
You pick the place and I’ll choose the time

[Chorus 1]
And I'll climb that hill in my own way
Just wait a while for the right day
And as I rise above the tree lines and the clouds
I look down, hearing the sound of the things you’ve said today

[Verse 2]
Fearlessly, the idiot faced the crowd
Smiling
Merciless magistrate turns around
Frowning
And who’s the fool that wears the crown?

[Chorus 2]
And go down in your own way
And every day is the right day
And as you rise above the fear-lines in his brow
You look down, hearing the sound of the faces in the crowd

[Outro]
Fearlessly, the idiot faced the crowd
Smiling
Merciless magistrate turns around
Frowning
Turns around
Who wears the crown?
