Kilimanjaro

Lyrics

First steps through the cloud forest floor Roots twist like arguments in mud The marimba starts its lowest note And climbs like warmth inside my blood Kilimanjaro the summit calls through the clouds Kilimanjaro the summit calls through the clouds Through the clouds Through the clouds The trees grow thinner with the air The moss gives way to volcanic stone My breathing shortens with the altitude Each step costs more than the one before Five thousand meters closer to the stars The air tastes like it has been distilled through the entire atmosphere Kilimanjaro the summit opens and the world is wide Kilimanjaro the summit opens and the world is wide The world is wide The world is wide The glacier glints like broken mirrors The clouds sit underneath my feet I see the curve the earth performs From Serengeti to the sea The marimba reaches its highest note A sound like ice and light combined The continent spreads out below And I leave everything behind
