Mighty Mountains

Well I was only seventeen

I found myself caught in between

What you could say was life and fantasy

That crooked road seemed all too steep

It stretched beyond what I could see

And left a thousand fallen in its path

But at last I saw the future Every moment that could be

Oh I found that life was waiting there for me

Ohhh

I knew that I could get there someday

Had to try and find my own way

No one else could tell me what to do

But like so many there before me

Failure wrote another story

Left behind a humbled broken soul

But at last I saw the future Every moment that could be

Oh I found that life was waiting there for me

Only for a moment I'd forgotten why we came

Not unlike my father mighty mountains call my name

Oh the explanations and excuses we could find

But unlike my father those mighty mountains I will climb

I will run Through the valley below Let's get drunk From the river it holds

As the sun Leads the way And the light begins to fade

Only now I remember why we came

Ohhh

It's strength we find when we are weak

It's faith that moves the tallest peak

And love that lasts for long after we're gone

But few can truly know the cost

And all who wander are not lost

For love will lead the tired and troubled home

'Cause at last I see the future Every moment that can be

And I've found that life is waiting here for me

Only for a moment I'd forgotten why we came

Not unlike my father mighty mountains call my name

Oh the explanations and excuses we could find

But unlike my father those mighty mountains I will climb

I will run Through the valley below Let's get drunk From the river it holds

As the sun Leads the way And the light begins to fade

Only now I remember why we came

Only for a moment I'd forgotten why we came

Not unlike my father mighty mountains call my name
