(Firestorm:) Ah Yeah check it out hey yo // Hey yo I ‘m climbing up the mountain to find my baby girl / All the time I ‘ve been looking for you all over the world / I came this far so I can ‘t turn back now / Even if I could go back I still don ‘t know how / I pray to God that I find you at the top / So I keep climbing up the mountain until I drop / My journey for findin you will never stop / So here I come baby girl, hope you ‘re there or maybe not / (Saskia:) Climbing up the mountains / hope that I will find some peace of mind / I ‘m holding on to hope / Climbing up the mountains hope that I will see / that you will be the peace inside of me (Firestorm:) A tear drops for all the years that you ‘re gone / I can ‘t believe that I ‘ll be writing you this song / Baby please hold on, yeah I ‘m comin’ / But what if I ‘m wrong and I won ‘t find nothing / Suddenly my conscience is messing with my mind / You can hear the frustration in my voice when I rhyme / The pain of your memory is flashing by / I just can ‘t describe but the feelin’ in my heart don ‘t lie // Ain nothing changed since you left, it ‘s been so long girl / I really need you back I still remember / The time that we met the time that we made love / You was like an angel that was sent from above / I really can ‘t believe that you ‘re gone / I really miss your arms around me to keep me warm / I hate myself for ever doing you wrong / I need you here in my life / And maybe at time I ‘m gonna make you my wife // Hey yo I ‘m climbing up the mountain / hope that I will find something
