Slow Climb

We're on this slow climb It's slow climb All I need is your hand in mine On this slow climb It's a slow climb All I need is your hand in mine You can be fooled by somethin' shiny and bright Looks like a rising star; it's a fallin' meteorite Some folks think they ain't got the time But there ain't no other way But this slow climb It's slow climb All I need is your hand in mine On this slow climb It's a slow climb All I need is your hand in mine I've seen signs for a secret short cut For a fast-track lane; for help out of a rut I've seen my friends turn a nickel into a dime But they all end up right back On this slow climb It's slow climb All I need is your hand in mine On this slow climb It's a slow climb All I need is your hand in mine Now that I know we're in it for the long haul I ain't worried 'bout the pace; no one can make me feel small For being right where I am Where I am is just fine I keep inchin' forward every day On this slow climb It's slow climb All I need is your hand in mine On this slow climb It's a slow climb All I need is your hand in mine All I need is your hand in mine All I need is your hand in mine We're on this slow climb
