never knew

(r. ripperger )



well i know we've both come so far to be here

and we're both twice the man we used to be

cause we've made it through the fall and through the winter

and i've got myself together as you can see

though more than once i've doubted your decision

you once told me a man must do what he's got to do

things are so bad, after all i've made it this far

and it's clear to me you're hangin in there too



{ but i wish for all my life you could have been there

when i climbed up high
