(D)When you look to the (D/C)hill you must (D/B)climb (D/B-D), and your (D)doubts will (D/C)not disa(D/B)ppear(D/B-D)
But don't look (G)down, look a (D)head, Isn't (A7)that what they (D)said,
It's a (G)long way (G/F#)up from down (A7)here
To be fearless does not mean you're brave. To be brave means you have
to know fear
Each crevice, each grip, Each foothold, each slip,
It's a long way down from up here.
So (D)rise with the (G)morning
and (D)run to the (A7)hills,
un(Bmin)til you can't (G)run
no (D)more. (A7)
Like a (D)bird set (G)free
from the (D)chains of the (A7)night,
and (Bmin)rise from the (G)valley
(A7)floor.
When I pickup the hill borne shape, deep in the dark lurks the fear.
On the top all alone, the only shadow's your own
It's a long way down from up here.
And you remember each painstaking step, And the thump of your heart in
your ear
Let it beat like a drum, marshal courage to come
It's a long way down from up here.
So rise with the morning and run to the hills, until you can't run no
more.
Like a bird set free from the chains of the night, and rise from the valley
floor.
Picture is broader, high up, with a view that cannot prepare
Three-sixty degrees flatten you to your knees
It's a long way up from down here
So rise with the morning and run to the hills, until you can't run no
more.
Like a bird set free from the chains of the night, and rise from the valley
floor.
So rise with the morning and run to the hills, until you can't run no
more.
Like a bird set free from the chains of the night, and rise from the valley
floor.
