Galileo Galilei - Climber Lyrics

We were climbing our mountain,
And more than just time was getting worn down.
But once we learn of freedom, we'll wish to fly,
And take notice of this overflowing feeling.

We feel like we'll reach it at any second - it shines brightly the closer we get,
Spreading out before our eyes: A scenery meant for us alone!

My lungs can keep breathing,
For as long as it takes to get up and back down;
Even if I finally arrive, I'll say, "One more time!"
Just keep aiming for the top!

Forgetting all doubt and stepping on in,
We fly onward, straight ahead -
Toward that moment grasped by our hands,
As they swam fitfully through open air! That moment...

This emotion builds every hundred doubled-timed steps we take;
We try to keep it from dying out... from crumbling away...
If we become aware of ourselves, we'll lose our ability to fly,
And that overflowing feeling will get all tied up inside.

Toward a sun too bright, inviting our glares,
And an increasingly strict scenery meant for us alone...

My lungs can keep breathing,
For as long as it takes to reach the sky;
Facing the sunrise, I'll say, "One more time!"
Just keep aiming for the top!

Even if I halt my progress, I'll keep marking time,
Waiting for my chance to fly straight there.
Thrusting out my demanding fingertips,
As they scrape away at that moment! That moment...

Right now, we gotta be climbers!

Give me that moment!
Give me that moment!
Give me that moment!
Before my eyes,
Are opened,
Give me,
The kind of moment,
That will,
Open my eyes!
