Story Behind The Song

Lyrics
SOMETIMES YOU FIND YOURSELF
IN FRONT OF A MOUNTAIN
YOU'RE NOT SURE WHY BUT IT
KEEPS CALLING YOU
YOU TURN AWAY BUT IT'S STILL
STANDING THERE AGAIN
SOMETIMES YOU FIND YOURSELF
IN FRONT OF A MOUNTAIN
YOU'RE NOT SURE WHY BUT IT
KEEPS CALLING YOU
YOU TURN AWAY BUT IT'S STILL
STANDING THERE AGAIN
WE JUST CAN'T HELP OURSELVES
RUNNING FROM OUR LIVES
BUT WE CAN'T QUENCH THE BLAZE, THE FIRE
NO ONE CAN BURN THE TIDE
AND THEN YOU FIND YOURSELF
ON TOP OF THAT MOUNTAIN
AND THEN YOU SEE THAT IT WASN'T THAT HIGH
BUT IN THE DISTANCE YOU SEE
ANOTHER MOUNTAIN TO CLIMB
WE JUST CAN'T HELP OURSELVES
RUNNING FROM OUR LIVES
BUT WE CAN'T QUENCH THE BLAZE, THE FIRE
NO ONE CAN BURN THE TIDE
OH, LIFE IS SHORT SO YOU GOTTA
KEEP ON DANCING
SWING TO THE MUSIC CUZ ITS
FOOD FOR THE SOUL
OUR JAM IS YOUR JAM SO
KEEP HOLD AND NEVER LET GO
KEEP HOLD AND NEVER LET GO
KEEP HOLD AND NEVER LET GO
