The Mountain

Storm coming in me, ba weather just makes me breathe
Watch as the sky turns grey, life ebbs and flows away
Wait, before I go, I'll make them all eat crow
Play the hand life deals, everything my way, now kneel
I'm a tree, roots firm in dirt, I've had my share of hurt
Move fast 'cause the time is short, 'cause the time is short.
Don't ask me to lase 'cause I'm born now to win
And I'm building this mountain from outside within
All you outsiders, you haters and liars
Your time is just counting so come meet the mountain
Storm, strength coming on strong, rain wash away life's wrongs
Willing straight from the start, strike fear into their heart
Sometimes you wish you you'd never been born but then here comes the storm
And just as the sky turns black, the voices say attack
Move fast 'cause the time is short, 'cause the time is short
Move fast 'cause the time is short, 'cause the time is short
Don't ask me to lose 'cause I'm born now to win
And I'm building this mountain from outside within
All you outsider, you haters and liars
Your time is just counting so come meet the mountain
Come meet the mountain
Falling, life
Life ebbs and flows away
Don't ask me to lose 'cause I'm born now to win
And I'm building this mountain from outside within
All you haters and liars just come meet the mountain
