Текст песни
[intro]
[verse 1]
If a friend feels neither close nor far,
Just a question mark, a hidden star,
If you cannot see what lies within,
Good or ill — the truth you’d like to win
[chorus 1]
Take him to the mountains, test his might,
Keep him near, don’t let him walk alone;
Where the air is thin and paths are steep,
There his soul will show, no mask to keep.
[verse 2]
If he faints when slopes grow icy and tall,
Turns back fast, afraid to face it all,
Slips on glacier, cries and cannot stand,
Yields to fear — no strength within his hand,
[chorus 2]
Then a stranger shared your mountain way;
Send him forth with peace, no harsh disdain.
Such as he are not for heights that sway,
And no song shall name him in its train.
[bridge][guitar]
[verse 3]
But if grim, unyielding, he still climbs on,
Silent through the storm, his will ungone,
When you fall, he grips, though tired and sore,
Bears the weight, his courage evermore
[chorus 3]
If he fights the wind, the cold, the night,
And at peak stands, dizzy with the light,
Then trust him deep, with all your heart and soul,
As yourself, let him in your trust enroll.
[outro]
