CLIMBING DOWNHILL

A Torrey and Ron song we wrote a couple of days ago. The climbing downhill title means that sometimes when we think we are coasting in life and taking it easy, that we are in reality choosing a harder way to live in the long run. Thanks for having a listen!

My sleep is gone
I'll turn the light on
I think it's hiding in the dark
I'll wait for the dawn
Then move along
Another thousand miles to get nowhere

I feel like I am climbing downhill
Going down, get back up
You know I can't stand still
Why am I still climbing downhill
Lessons learned the hard way
Didn't break my will
God will you show me the way

Can't live in the past
You know it won't last
Those broken dreams are dead and gone
I'll leave where I have been
Start over again
Lord give me live the life I've never known

Don't wanna keep on climbing downhill
Going down, get back up
Why can't I just stand still
I'm so tired from climbing downhill
I need a higher power
To come and break my will
God will you show me the way

I've been on the edge
I've chased the thrill
My wanderlust I followed
With foolish dreams unfulfilled
I see You
Lord, I see your truth
With eyes on You I'll follow
Lord lead me to the end of my road

I'm done with this climbing downhill
Going down, get back up
This time I'm standing still
I'm so tired of climbing downhill
Jesus, You're my higher power
You came and broke my will
I'm done with this climbing downhill
Going down, get back up
In You time I'm standing still
I'm done with this climbing downhill
Lessons learned the hard way
Thank God, He broke my will
Let Him show you the way
Let Him show you the way
