Conquer Me



(words by J. Popper)

(music by B. Sheehan)



Hail to you my mountain climber busy at your task

I know you're in a hurry but there's something I must ask

Do you ever get lonely climbing up so high

If you don't want to answer me I can understand why

If I told you a secret, would you want to know more

I've got a challenge I hope you won't ignore



Conquer me figure me out and set me free

I've got a hundred million things to show you as many more to see

But only if you conquer me



Sometimes I get the precious view and the grand scheme shows its face

When all is in harmony it can be such a lonely place

The melody is sad and sweet, and the dance I do is fun

Yes I love this precious view but I'm staring at the sun

For as pretty the picture, I share this view alone

Will anyone stoop to grasp this gauntlet I have thrown



Conquer me figure me out and set me free

I've got a hundred million things to show you as many more to see

But only if you conquer me



Hail to all you mountain climbers all you dreamers on the run

I'm your self appointed solicitor but now I speak to only one

Whoever she is now, and whoever she'll become

I'd like to ask her to hurry please and if she's walking could she run

It's not my impatience though perhaps just there I lied

It's just I'm feeling invincible and it has me terrified



Conquer me figure me out and set me free

Conquer me figure me out and set me free
