Lyrics

I used to dream of the mountains
Jutting out
Into the open sky.
I would scale them
And count each one
As a notch
A trophy by my side.

But in my dreams
Of the mountains,
They were silent
Snowcapped
Hills of wonder.
Never seeing the mountains
Hid their fury
And it hid their hunger

But now
I've been to the mountains
And I tried
To take a climb.
But I was warned
By their raging strength
That I?d better stop
And take my time.

And so
I talked to the mountains
And I listened
To their endless stories
And found
The tale of the mountains
Lies within their strength
Within their heart
Within their glory.

And as I climb
I am stripping off my pride
I was gripping
Aiming high
I am breaking through the sky
And I'm waking up.

And as I climb
I am stripping off my pride
I was gripping
Aiming high
I am breaking through the sky
And I'm taking life

From the mountains
As I stand here now
Knowing their meaning
Energized
And abundant
Walking a straight path
Instead of leaning.

And I live
with the mountains
making every day
a little longer.
And I give you the mountains
As I pass along their song
Their legacy
To make us stronger
