From the recording Impossible Climb
Impossible Climb is a deeply personal song about love tested by time, distance, and everything left unsaid.
The lyrics — written by my wife, Monika — carry the emotional core of this story. It’s her voice, her truth, and in many ways… our shared reality.
At its heart is a simple but powerful image — a wall built slowly, brick by brick, not by one person, but by two. Every word, every wound, every silence adds another layer until what once connected becomes something that divides.
This isn’t a story about blame.
It’s about perspective.
Two people standing on opposite sides, both carrying the same memories, the same regrets… but seeing a different truth. What one built for protection, the other experiences as distance. What feels like survival on one side feels like loss on the other.
And yet — even in the cracks of that wall, there’s still light.
Impossible Climb lives in that space between breaking apart and trying again. It’s about recognizing that the wall was never meant to destroy love… but to hold everything that became too heavy to carry.
And maybe, just maybe, if both sides reach at the same time…
there’s still a way through.
Lyrics
I built a wall, a mighty beast
Stretching westward, reaching east
Tall and strong, unyielding grand
Its shadows come, stone lay by hand
The sunlight pours upon my core
Its golden hand I can't ignore
I lift my face, I breathe, I stay
The night feels lighter, kept at bay
But you don't see and I'm sorry
You stand beyond in grief's quarry
Among the echoes, cold and wild
The wall will never let you hide
I see a wall from the other side
But from the pain I couldn't hide
Brick by brick we lost the climb
Love turned to stone through passing time
You say it's yours but it's partly mine
This impossible climb
In dark and chill through tears I peer
Your silhouette still lingers near
It breaks my heart, you cannot see
This wall was never built to flee
It rose from bricks we both designed
One wound, one word, one sleepless mind
Till it stood both last and higher
A monument to all our fire
Yeah, yeah, yeah
We see the wall from different skies
The same regrets in both our eyes
Brick by brick we lost the climb
Love turned to stone through passing time
But in the cracks the light still shines
Our impossible climb
Maybe the wall was meant to stay
To hold the storm, to keep decay
But if you reach I'll do the same
We'll carve a door and call my name
Yeah, yeah, yeah
No higher walls, no more disguise
Just open hands and open eyes
Brick by brick we'll redefine
What's left of love through fire and time
From pain to grace, from loss to climb
Our impossible climb
