Fearless by Pink Floyd (1971):

"You say the hill's too steep to climb

Chiding

You say you'd like to see me try

Climbing

You pick the place and I'll choose the time

And I'll climb the hill in my own way

Just wait a while for the right day

And as I rise above the tree line and the clouds

I look down hearing the sound of the things you said today"

things you said today"
