When I look up
And see how far I have to go
I am tempted
To give up my quest for the peak
When I look down
And see how far I have come
I am tempted
To rest on my laurels where I am
When I look around
And see what is and is not
I am tempted
To surrender in confusion
When I stop looking
And simply do what is to be done
Temptation vanishes
And I roll merrily along
