WHEN I GET TO THE TOP

|| WHEN I GET TO THE TOP ||

I hope when i get to the top i'll still retain good ears for music
And the beats of the Sycophants i'll refuse to dance

I hope when i get to the top i'll still be able to see clearly
And the dizziness of the height not blur my vision

I hope when i get to the top i'll still be approachable
And remain graceful in sublimity

I hope when i get to the top i'll choose my new friends wisely
And reject the invite of the impious

I hope when i get to the top i'll still be wise
And not stir up hatred with grandiose living

I hope when i get to the top i'll not loosen the strings of my helmet
Reminding myself that the head is the target at the top
