Story Behind The Song
I used to jog and that's the mindset I had when I approached a hill. I thought it'd make a good Donovan-type song. Later, I thought it'd make a better reggae song and I accomplished this by re-using the same drum track and starting one beat earlier!
Song Description
Happy, fun song about how I can overcome any of my problems because each one of them is just another hill to get over.

Lyrics
Just Another Hill
I'm not afraid of what's to come
Ain't gonna make no dead run
Ain't gonna hide my face from the sun
No,
That's alright!
It's just another hill!
CHORUS
It's just another hill
Like any other hill
It's just another hill
to get over
It's just another hill
Like any other hill
And it's gonna be okay before too long.
There ain't nobody on this earth
can scare me back into my hole
There ain't no creature from beyond
's gonna weight my soul
'Cause I know when I'm feelin' old
and worn and tired and blue
I'm gonna get over that hill somehow
and see my problems through
I got my life, I got my song
I ain't done nobody wrong
The only way to keep me strong
Is to run another hill!
CHORUS
An hour ago, I sat alone,
wrapped in misery
I never cease to be amazed
how long an hour can be
It took that pain to get it through
my head that I was free
So I stood up and didn't let
the hill run over me
CHORUS
