Do you know how deep I sank
_____
Do you know how far I’ve run
_____
With shoes of lead and ten bullets in my back
_____
And nothing on my mind but your smile
_____
I accepted it after 1,000 miles on foot
_____
I push the handle of the door that leads to me
_____
And think, finally visitors again
_____
From where the pepper grows
_____
Back from the asphalt to Mount Everest
_____
The long road all without you
_____
I open the door for myself
_____
And see myself standing there
_____
And feel my love is stronger than ever
_____
I sailed on a raft of pallets and canisters
_____
No day I lived without you
_____
My voice pierced the darkness
_____
My curses turned to prayers
'Cause nobody was with me
Talking to myself for days
_____
From where the pepper grows
_____
Back from the asphalt to Mount Everest
_____
The long road all without you
_____
I open the door for myself
And see myself standing there
_____
And feel my love is stronger than ever
_____
Life is just too easy
_____
And at some point you can’t go any lower
_____
It’s enough for me just to know
_____
That my soul is still intact
_____
That nothing stops me, baby
_____
From coming back as a made man
_____
No lockup or barbed wire
_____
From where the pepper grows
_____
Back from the asphalt to Mount Everest
_____
The long road all without you
_____
I open the door for myself
_____
And see myself standing there
_____
And I feel my love is stronger
Stronger, stronger than ever
