Conquer Me
Blues Traveler Lyrics

Hail to you my mountain climber busy at your task
Greetings to you who are climbing up the mountain with a purpose

I know you're in a hurry but there's something I must ask
I am aware of your urgency, but I still have a question to ask

Do you ever get lonely climbing up so high
When you climb so high, do you ever feel lonely?

If you don't want to answer me I can understand why
If you choose not to respond, I can comprehend your reluctance to do so

Are you running for heaven, or are you running fast from hell
Is your aim to reach heaven, or are you sprinting away from hell?

If that's your intention, you aren't doing very well
If that is your purpose, it appears to be an unsuccessful effort

If I told you a secret, would you want to know more
If I were to reveal a secret, would you be interested in finding out more?

I've got a challenge I hope you won't ignore
I possess a challenge, which I hope you will not disregard

Conquer me figure me out and set me free
Overcome me, figure me out and liberate me

I've got a hundred million things to show you as many more to see
I have an abundance of things to exhibit to you and many more to reveal

But only if you conquer me
However, all of these things can be presented only if you succeed in overcoming me

Sometimes I get this precious view and the grand scheme shows its face
Occasionally, I receive a rare perspective, and the overall plan unveils itself

When all is in harmony it can be such a lonely place
Although everything is balanced, this pleasant environment can still seem desolate

The melody is sad and sweet, and the dance I do is fun
The tune is both sorrowful and pleasing, while the dance I perform is entertaining

Yes I love this precious view but I'm staring at the sun
Certainly, I adore this view, yet I am staring at the sun

It's like watching a movie about a game you won't get to play
It is similar to watching a film about a game that you will not be able to participate in

It seems to go on without me, and I just gotta get in the way
It appears to progress without my involvement, and I feel the need to intervene

For as pretty the picture, I share this view alone
Even though the picture is charming, I am still the only one who perceives this view

Will anyone stoop to grasp this gauntlet I have thrown
Will anyone be willing to pick up the challenge I presented

Hail to all you mountain climbers all you dreamers on the run
Greetings to all of the mountain climbers and the wanderers with ambitions

I'm your self-appointed solicitor but now I speak to only one
I am your voluntary representative, but presently, I am addressing a single person

Whoever she is now, and whoever she'll become
Whoever she is at the moment, and whoever she will be in the future

I'd like to ask her to hurry please and if she's walking could she run
I would request her to hasten up, and if she is walking, if possible, could she start running

It's not my impatience though perhaps just there I lied
It is not impatience only, although conceivably, that might not be wholly accurate

It's just I'm feeling invincible and it has me terrified
I am experiencing a sense of invincibility, and it is instilling fear in me

Are you safe and are you healthy, and hope you're all right
Are you secure and healthy, and I hope you are doing well

Entombed in my bravado, I was hoping soon you might
Wrapped up in my overconfidence, I was anticipating that you would do so soon
