9. Mud on the hill

14:35

You look up to the hill above. You are prepared to climb but you're afraid to start, you're afraid to start. The path is stony but you will take heart. The mud on the hill won't break your will. The first steps you take are slow, but soon your confidence will start to grow, start to grow. You walk along the narrow path alone. The mud on the hill won't break your will. One step up, two steps down. Two steps up and only one step down. The mud on the hill is all you can feel. The mud at your feet is heavy and deep. You try so hard to free your mind, you look inside but there's only the hill you find, only the hill you find. The steep incline dominates your mind. The mud on the hill won't break your will. You find the strength to start again, you overcome fatigue you overcome the pain. You'll continue on despite the strain. The mud in your mind is making you blind. One step up, two steps down. Two steps up and only one step down. Climbing up, never loose the way. Sliding down, tumbling away. Gripping dirt, mouth is getting dry. Clutching rocks, getting low and high. Clutching crawling sliding falling gripping slipping walking mumbling talking stumbling tottering tumbling down the hill. One step up, two steps down. Two steps up and only one step down. The mud on the hill is all you can feel. The mud at your feet is heavy and deep. So the mud on the hill finally broke his will. He came tumbling down. Down to the ground, and now he's gotta start all over again.
