Mountain
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
You speak your love
You turn, are gone
What kind of love
You thinking of
Can you tell me how this mountain got so high
Moments worth
The price of myths
Lifting from our fingertips
Reaching for the next hand hold on the wall
How'd this mountain get so high
How'd this mountain get so high
Can someone tell me how this mountain got so high
Step by step
We take on weight
The trick is now
To separate
Secure the good
Leave the rot behind
How'd this mountain get so high
How'd this mountain get so high
Can someone tell me how this mountain got so high
No need for answers
But give them choice
A simple place
To hear their voice
Can someone tell me how this mountain got so high
How'd this mountain get so high
How'd this mountain get so high
Can someone tell me how this mountain got so high
