I was crossing the snow fields
In front of the capital building
It was Christmas and I was alone
Strange cityStrangers for friends
I was broke
As the carillons sang its song
I dreamt of successI would be the best
I would make my folks proud
I would be happy
It hasn't happened yetIt hasn't happened yet
It hasn't happened
Yes there are nods in my directions
Clap of handsA knowing smile
But still
I was scared again
I'm scared againFoot slipped
Devils fall and so did I
Almost
I'm highOn Yosemite
The big grey wall
Fear of falling
Where to put my foot nextFear of failure
I whispered in the air
Fear of failure
I'm afraid I'm gonna fallFear of losing my hair
Falling
When is the mountain scared
When do I feel I haven't failedI have to get it together man
It hasn't happened yet
It hasn't happened yet
It hasn't happenedPeople come and say hello
Ok I can get to the front of the line
But you have to ignore the looks
And yetI'm waiting for that feeling of contentment
That ease at night when you put your head down and the rhythm slow to sleep
My heads sways and eyes start awake
I'm there not halfway between sleep and deathBut looking into
Eyes wide open
Trying to remember
What I might have doneShould've done
At my age I need serenity
I need peace
It hasn't happened yetIt hasn't happened yet
It hasn't happened yet
It hasn't happened
It hasn't happened
