The Mountain

[Instrumental Intro] [Verse 1] Well, a woman walked that same ol' path, She'd been down many times before. The road was flat, just dirt and grass, And the journey, oh, it was such a bore. [Verse 2] But one fine day, a little mound Popped up where she used to stroll, She dodged it quick, didn’t mess around, No time to stop and take a poll. [Pre-Chorus] Oh, life throws curves, we duck and swerve, To help us truly see, That obstacles can be our friends, If we let 'em be. [Verse 3] Next time she took that same ol' trail, That mound had grown, oh Lord, Instead of dodgin', she raised some hell, Grumbled loud and got bored. [Verse 4] She trudged along, mind in a knot, That hill a thorn in her side, And as she grumbled, and as she fought, That hill grew high and wide. [Instrumental] [Verse 5] Her mind spun 'round in circles, Where her clear path used to be, Now an enormous mountain rose, Her patience wore thin as could be. [Pre-Chorus] When life builds mountains in our way, It's teaching us to climb, To see the world from heights unknown, And change our view with time. [Chorus] The mountain stands in front of me, A symbol of what life can be. Through struggle and through strife, We find the beauty in our life. [Verse 6] She pushed from one side, wouldn't budge, That mountain stood so tall, She pulled from the other, left a smudge, Her footsteps carved a groove so small. [Pre-Chorus] Embrace the climb, don't turn away, Mountains rise to show the way. In every challenge, there's a light, Guiding us through darkest night. [Chorus] The mountain stands in front of me, A symbol of what life can be. Through struggle and through strife, We find the beauty in our life. [Instrumental] [Verse 7] Each day she battled this great wall, Her hatred growing more, She wished it'd vanish, once and for all, That mountain became a chore. [Verse 8] She dug, she threw, she screamed, she cursed, The mountain only grew, The more she fought, the more it burst, Her strength she slowly blew. [Chorus] The mountain stands in front of me, A symbol of what life can be. Through struggle and through strife, We find the beauty in our life. [Verse 9] Exhausted, she fell to the ground, Cried 'til her tears ran dry, She wondered how it came around, And spun herself up in the why. [Verse 10] In her tired, worn-out state, She looked up, eyes wide, And saw the mountain, now so great, For once, she felt some pride. [Chorus] The mountain stands in front of me, A symbol of what life can be. Through struggle and through strife, We find the beauty in our life.
