VERSE

BEFORE I LEARNED TO WALK I CRAWLED ON MY KNEES
LOOKING UP I SAW A WORLD JUST BEYOND MY REACH
I CRIED IN DESPERATION TILL I FINALLY FIGURED OUT
IF I STOOD ON MY OWN NOTHIN’ COULD KEEP ME DOWN

CHORUS

I CLIMBED THAT MOUNTAIN 
JUST TO SEE WHAT WAS ON THE OTHER SIDE
THANK GOD FOR MOUNTAINS
WITHOUT THEM I’D HAVE NEVER TOUCHED THE SKY

VERSE

BY THE TIME I TURNED EIGHTEEN I WAS GOIN’ ON FORTY TWO
WITH NOTHIN’ LEFT WORTH DOIN’ AND NOTHIN’ LEFT TO PROVE
THEN LIFE SAID “NOT SO FAST BOY” AND GAVE ME A WAKE-UP CALL
I FOUND MYSELF SURROUNDED BY A JAGGED GRANITE WALL

CHORUS

I CLIMBED THAT MOUNTAIN 
JUST TO SEE WHAT WAS ON THE OTHER SIDE
THANK GOD FOR MOUNTAINS
WITHOUT THEM I’D HAVE NEVER LEARNED TO FLY

BRIDGE

THERE’S ALWAYS SOMETHING TO GET OVER
SOMETHINGS YOU JUST CAN’T WALK AROUND
THE CHOICE WAS MINE TO MAKE GO BACK THE WAY I CAME
OR KEEP MOVING NEVER LOOKING DOWN

CHORUS

SO I CLIMBED THAT MOUNTAIN 
JUST TO SEE WHAT WAS ON THE OTHER SIDE
THANK GOD FOR MOUNTAINS
WITHOUT THEM I’D HAVE NEVER TOUCHED THE SKY

CHORUS

WITHOUT THEM I’D HAVE NEVER LEARNED TO FLY
