From the recording “TBD”
This song is about helping others to get to a place they want to be but can’t figure out how to get there. Its about helping them get to that point by being a knowledgeable guide, a Sherpa, to help them up a difficult mountain of change to get there. It is a reflection of the help I needed to gain the courage to make music professionally, despite the fear of failure and the long road to uncertain success.
Lyrics
You can’t do this alone
You can’t climb by yourself
You need someone to guide you
You need somebody’s help
I have climbed up this mountain
Many times, many ways
I know every twist and turn
Along the way
And I’ll be your sherpa guide you up the mountain
Pick you up and carry you if you fall
I’ll lead you through it all
I’ll be your sherpa if you call
You’ve come to this place
After all these years
Just to find your way
and to start again
And I’ll be your sherpa guide you up the mountain
Pick you up and carry you if you fall
I’ll lead you through it all
I’ll be your sherpa if you call
And though the days may be long, well, we will carry on
And when the nights get so cold, well, you’ve got a hand to hold
And I’ll be your sherpa guide you up the mountain
Pick you up and carry you if you fall
I’ll lead us through it all
I’ll be your sherpa if you call
When you call
