I was crossing the snow fields   In front of the Capital Building   It was Christmas and I was alone   Strange city, strangers for friends   And I was broke      As the carillon sang its song   I dreamt of success   I would be the best   I would make my folks proud   I would be happy      It hasn't happened yet   It hasn't happened yet   It hasn't happened      Yes, there are nods in my direction   Clap of hands, the knowing smile   But still, I'm scared again      Foot slipped, pebbles fall and so did I   Almost, oh my   On Yosemite, the big grey wall   (Fear of falling)   Where to put my foot next   (Fear of failure)   I'm afraid, I'm going to fall   (Be at one with the mountain)      I whispered in the air   (Fear of falling, fear of falling   (Fear of failure, failure)   Fear of losing my hair   (Falling, falling, falling)      When is the mountain scaled?   When do I feel I haven't failed?   I've got to get it together, man   It hasn't happened yet      It hasn't happened yet   It hasn't happened yet   It hasn't happened   It hasn't happened      People come up and say, "Hello"   Okay, I can get to the front of the line   But you have to ignore the looks and yet   I'm waiting for that feeling of contentment   That ease at night when you put your head down   And the rhythms slow to sleep      My head sways and eyes start awake   I'm there not halfway between sleep and death   But looking into eyes wide open trying to remember   What I might have done, should have done   At my age I need serenity I need peace      It hasn't happened yet   It hasn't happened yet   It hasn't happened yet   It hasn't happened   It hasn't happened
