I see a mountain at my gates
I see it more and more each day
What I give it takes away
Whether I go or when I stay
I see a mountain at my gates
I see it more and more each day
I see a fire out by the lake
I drive my car without the brakes
I see a mountain in my way
It’s looming larger by the day
I see a darkness in my faith
I'll drive my car without the brakes
Oh, gimme some time
Show me the foothole from which I can climb
Yeah, when I feel low
You show me a signpost for where I should go
I see a mountain at my gates
I see it more and more each day
And my desire wears a dark dress
But each day, I see you less
Oh, gimme some time
Show me the foothole from which I can climb
Yeah, when I feel low
You show me a signpost for where I should go
Through lanes and stone rows
Black granite, wind blows
Fire lake and far flame, go now but come again
Dark clouds gather round
Will I run or stand my ground?
Oh, when I come to climb
Show me the mountain so far behind
Where it’s farther away
Its shadow gets smaller day after day
Yeah, gimme my way
Give me my love
Give my choice
You keep me coming around
Gimme my fate
Gimme my lungs
Gimme my voice
You keep me coming around
Gimme my lungs
Gimme my, gimme my, gimme my, gimme my
Gimme my, gimme my, gimme my, gimme my way
Gimme my fate
Gimme my lungs
Gimme my choice
You keep me coming around.
