Thanks to Johnny Cash
Hang on cowboys. You too, mountain guys. The song is a comin'.
But first, thanks to the man in black, Johnny Cash, for the inspiration. I heard his name associated with one of my favorite pastor/teachers--Tim Keller. The quote goes something like this: Tim Keller is like Johnny Cash. His material is always getting ripped off and he never gets the credit.
Thanks Johnny, it's burnin'.
And thanks, Tim, it's always grace.
"I'm goin' higher"
The top is beautiful thing
It makes me sing
I can see everything
A goal I long to reach
It’s up and back
And then I teach
But I sat down cause my legs they were on fire
My lungs they burned
But my friends all pointed higher
and soon I’m up
I’m going higher
I’m going higher
Soon we’ll be up there
But where’s the air
Give me a chair
I’m walking
Not doing much talking
Oh where’s the air
Give me a chair
So I sit down cause my legs they are on fire
My lungs they burn
My friends all point much higher
And I keep on goin’
Oh I am a trier
to get much higher
When we reach the top
Oh then we’ll stop
And go back down
Then’s the time to say
It was an easy day
When we’re back in town
Cause then we’ll sit and our legs won’t be on fire
Our lungs won’t burn
We don’t have to go no higher
And our friends will say
‘Oh you’re a climber.
Oh you’re a climber!”
