THE MOUNTAIN LYRICS

Everybodyʼs feeling out there on a limb 

Running from the devil at the will of the wind

Stranded in a jungle, lives are on the line

Overwhelmed by everything 

And just not enough time

 

But you canʼt look at the mountain 

When youʼre reaching for the sky 

You canʼt look at the mountain

Itʼs always up too high

Casts a mighty shadow

Lets no light into your eyes 

When all youʼve got is faith to fly 

 

Donʼt look at the mountain

Or you wonʼt make the climb

 

Far too many frantic stretched out way too thin 

Tryin’ to stay above the water 

It’s always sink or swim 

Feelin’ too much pressure 

No one wants to drown

But it does no good to worry 

On the way to higher ground

 

So you don’t look at the mountain 

When youʼre reaching for the sky 

The only way to do it 

Is one day at a time 

It casts a mighty shadow

Lets no light into your eyes

When all youʼve got is faith to fly 

 

Donʼt look at the mountain

When youʼre reaching for the sky

 

If you think too long

You can talk yourself out of anything 

If you think too long

You can talk yourself out of anything 

If you think too long

You can talk yourself out of anything 

 

So you donʼt look at the mountain 

When you're reaching for the sky

It casts a mighty shadow

Lets no light into your eyes 

The only way to do it 

One day at at time

No donʼt look at the mountain 

When youʼre reaching for the sky
