Mountaintop Todd Rundgren

[Verse 1]
Well, the old man called me to his dying bed
There's only one thing in this world I like to see, he said
I tried so many times but I've never done it
Often made the climb but never reached the summit
So I could look down on this pissant little town

[Chorus]
I took one step (higher, higher)
And another step (higher, higher)
But I could not reach that mountaintop

I took one step (higher, higher)
And another step (higher, higher)
But I could not reach that mountaintop
I couldn't reach the mountaintop

[Verse 2]
So I picked him up and put him on my back
And strapped him in just like a hiking pack
I took off up the hill at a steady pace
I said don't die on me now, we're gonna win this race
So we can look down on that pissant little town

[Chorus]
I'll take one step (higher, higher)
Another step (higher, higher)
'Til I reach that mountaintop
