   "I stand with a blank expression now, and I can't believe myself
    Will someone tell me how...   did I get here
    I am walking
    Changing slowly
    I am chasing
    Climbing closer"

    Lyrics:
    "It seems that I lost track of time, and I can't believe my mind
     Would you save me if...   I reached out to you
     I'm waiting,
     watching, standing
     I am reaching
     Climbing closer"
