well i know we`ve both come so far to be here
and we`re both twice the man we used to be
cause we`ve made it through the fall and through the winter
and i`ve got myself together as you can see
though more than once i`ve doubted your decision
you once told me a man must do what he`s got to do
things are so bad, after all i`ve made it this far
and it`s clear to me you`re hangin in there too
{ but i wish for all my life you could have been there
when i climbed up high
