I climbed
The mountain high
I could almost
Touch the sky
I made the ascent
Up the Everest mountain
Guided by my sherpa
His knowledge was certain
As we climbed
Tens of thousands of feet
The air grew thin
I could feel my heart beat
After much arduous effort
We reached the summit at last
It was an exhilarating moment
Our view lets us see vast places
We could look around and see
In every single direction
We had a strong sense of euphoria
And we felt elation
Our trip to the base of Everest
Went smoothly thanks to God alone
We were exhausted from the climbing
Our climbing skills we did hone
