The 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.
Oh the feeling comes to me again
The feeling to give up and to give in
The feeling that I’ve already lost the war
But a pure heart is worth waiting for
Get behind me all you little fears
Get behind me all you wasted years
Get behind me everything I’ve done wrong
Pure eyes are coming with the dawn
I've decided to face this mountain
To stare down the mountain in the eyes
I'm not running from this mountain of mine
I’ve decided to face this mountain
To stand up to the mountain tonight
I believe you could move this mounta inside
She's a pretty devil in disguise
The devil’s in the details of her eyes
She's a blurry vision in a dress tonight
Your tongue is mixing drinks like truths and lies
Maybe faith is found inside a seed
Maybe faith is still found inside of me
Mostly I feel like I’m lost at sea
I believe, Lord help my unbelief
I believe you could move this mountain of mine
I've decided to face this mountain
To stare down the mountain in the eyes
I'm not running from this mountain inside
I've decided to face this mountain
To stand up to this mountain tonight
I believe you could move this mountain of mine
I believe you could move the mountain inside
I believe you could move the mountain of mine
Move the mountain of mine, uh, uh
Move the mountain of mine, uh, uh
Move the mountain of mine
Move the mountain of mine
Move the mountain of mine
Move the mountain of mine
Move the mountain of mine
Move the mountain of mine
Move the mountain of mine
Move the mountain of mine
Move the mountain of mine
