Summit

Oh i’m looking at the sea… wondering about its reach
Endless possibility… yet my life’s in full retreat
Reached up to the heavens and found my solemn path
Oh sweet Johnny will you rise, again
Will you taste the water and the wine
Will you make a sweet young maiden smile… again
You can’t ride in all directions at one time
Read the words and the wisdom you will find
Yes, I’m walking by myself… up the Bellarmine Hill
The horizon lies ahead… yet I’m suddenly chilled
Redemption’s chosen angel wraps me in a shroud
Oh sweet Johnny will you rise, again
Will you taste the water and the wine
Will you make a sweet young maiden smile… again
You can’t ride in all directions at one time
Read the words and the wisdom you will find
Bridge
The just man takes his wisdom not measured by his years
Perfection comes from fullness of a soul
A life of simple virtue embraces human form
It’s easier to promise and hard to fulfill
Well I’m coming home tonight… earlier than I thought
I’m ready for my rest… understanding what was taught
Saved from the deceits, I’m an innocent again
Oh sweet Johnny will you rise, again
Will you taste the water and the wine
Will you make a sweet young maiden smile… again
You can’t ride in all directions at one time
Read the words and the wisdom you will find
