SO MANY MOUNTAINS

I was staring at the mountain top 
with a dream in mind.
And as soon as the time was right 
I would make the climb.
But whenever I had the time 
the sky looked like rain.
I was wonderin’ if I’d ever see that day.

CHORUS: 
So many mountains still yet to climb.
So many dreams weigh on my mind.
So many mountains callin’ my name
that it seems my life 
is so many mountains away.

On the day I started up the trail 
my legs were strong.
I didn’t know how many times I’d stumble and fall.
But when my side ached with doubt, 
I’d grit my teeth,
and shout at the summit, 
“I refuse to be beat!”

REPEAT CHORUS

When I made it to the top 
I didn’t realize what I’d see from there.
A hundred mountain peaks sayin’, 
“Climb me, if you dare.”

So many mountains still yet to climb.
So many dreams weigh on my mind.
So many mountains callin’ my name
but now I live my life 
knowin’ mountains won’t stand in my way.
