"Choosing to Ascend" is an uplifting folk rock adventure song about a climber who aims for the sun and learns from the mountain beneath her feet. Missed footholds, broken tools, and impossible distances become reasons to rethink her approach. Each attempt teaches her how to go farther, until yesterday's obstacle gives way to a better idea.
⛰️ For anyone chasing a goal that still feels out of reach, this is a song to carry into the next attempt. Add it to your adventure playlist, or bring it into a Dungeons & Dragons journey where the party must find its own way upward. Welcome to Lyra Vesperi, where ambition grows through curiosity, practice, and the courage to try again.
🎵 Lyrics:
Before the bells had counted eight, I'd cleared the eastern ridge
I missed a foothold, kissed the stream, and laughed beneath the bridge
I set the sun ahead of me, absurdly out of reach
A foolish mark can still reveal what practice has to teach
By noon I'd snapped a climbing pin, and scraped my stubborn shin
I bound the cut, replaced the pin, then started up again
An old cartographer said, "Girl, that peak rejects the bold"
I asked him if he'd tried himself. He said, "It's what I'm told"
Feet can fail, but still the stubborn question stays
A thinking mind can always make a dozen ways
When one attempt comes back too small to clear the wall
Change the angle, keep the question, keep the call
Higher, higher, let the sun keep climbing high!
Higher, higher, let the moon keep rolling by!
Miss the mark, then find another way to carry on
Every limit has a seam that can come undone
Higher, higher, every setback makes me climb!
Higher, higher, there are miles in me to find!
If the summit stays ahead, I'll meet it anyway
Higher than I was yesterday
At dusk I found a shattered lens half-buried in the snow
I cleaned the glass and watched the moon make every crater glow
I couldn't touch that distant world. I could improve the view
So I rebuilt the broken mount, and learned what tools can do
The pulley cleared the granite wall that stopped me yesterday
The moon was no less distant, but I'd found a better way
I reached the peak on shaking legs, with mud across my face
The heavens never moved an inch. I'd changed my starting place
Feet can fail, but still the stubborn question stays
A thinking mind can always make a dozen ways
When one attempt comes back too small to clear the wall
Change the angle, keep the question, keep the call
Higher, higher, let the sun keep climbing high!
Higher, higher, let the moon keep rolling by!
Miss the mark, then find another way to carry on
Every limit has a seam that can come undone
Higher, higher, every setback makes me climb!
Higher, higher, there are miles in me to find!
If the summit stays ahead, I'll meet it anyway
Higher than I was yesterday
Some goals stay out of reach. That doesn't make them vain
A mind can picture what is not, then practice through the strain
The hands that miss can learn. The knees that bruise can heal
An idea earns its weight when repetition makes it real
No summit owes a welcome. No effort gets a prize
But every failed ascent can teach a sharper way to rise
The sun may stay untaken. The moon may never bend
The point was never catching them. It's choosing to ascend
Feet can fail, but still the stubborn question stays
A thinking mind can always make a dozen ways
When one attempt comes back too small to clear the wall
Change the angle, keep the question, keep the call
Higher, higher, let the sun keep climbing high!
Higher, higher, let the moon keep rolling by!
Miss the mark, then find another way to carry on
Every limit has a seam that can come undone
Higher, higher, every setback makes me climb!
Higher, higher, there are miles in me to find!
If the summit stays ahead, I'll meet it anyway
Higher than I was yesterday
