Hasta cuánto de alta es esta altura
que siempre hay más y yo más quiero subir
hasta dónde llegará esta pendiente
cuanto más arriba haya, más abajo habrá tambien.
Hasta donde? si ya voy cruzando el cielo
Hasta donde? si nunca puedo alcanzar
Hasta cuanto? que nunca se ve la cima
el horizonte siempre, siempre es un peldaño más.
Cada vez estoy más trepado
y el abismo bajo mis pies
siempre tiene más abajo
pero a dónde queda el llegar
de este arriba sin final
este arriba cada vez,más alto está.
Apunado de locura
