They all say that they always knew you'd make it
They all say they knew you would succeed
But the road was never easy
And the way was never clear
And you look around and wonder how you ever made it here
Their confidence was scary
Cause you never had your own
They say they were always with you, but you always felt alone
Now you stand atop the mountain, you should smile
You climbed its craggy face, you should exult
It was steep and it was sheer
And there was failure always near
But you stayed the course, and what was the result?
The times you almost gave up are your secret
The times it nearly broke you lock away
You want to climb another
For now you know you can
And you've earned the pride that you should feel today
