Closer and Closer

I'm climbing my way up to you.
If only you knew
that I'm climbing
closer and closer.

Can't turn back,
I'll fall if I slack
I look back to the start
getting closer to your heart
my skin's cut by cold breeze
I feel my heart will freeze

I climb closer to the clouds
must keep climbing
closer to heaven
must keep climbing

The further I go the harder it gets
if I fall there's no safety net.
The climb's so hard I am so high
if I fall now I'll die
but I can't give up now.
Must keep climbing
closer and closer.

Can't stop now
got to keep climbing
closer and closer to paradise
closer and closer to you.
