Mountaintop - Todd Rundgren

Well, the old man called me to his dying bed

There’s only one thing in this world I like to see, he said

I tried so many times but I’ve never done it

Often made the climb but never reached the summit

So I could look down on this pissant little town

I took one step

And another step

But I could not reach that mountaintop

I couldn’t reach the mountaintop

So I picked him up and put him on my back

And strapped him in just like a hiking pack

I took off up the hill at a steady pace

I said: don’t die on me now, we’re gonna win this race

So we can look down on this pissant little town

I’ll take one step

And another step

Til I reach that mountaintop

I’m gonna reach the mountaintop
