Standing On Top Of A Mountain Lyrics

People told me the world was made of mountains and they said I had to climb

They said I'd never find what I wanted until I made my way up high

So I went everywhere they told me to go, they said I couldn't make a sound

Till I was standing on top of a mountain, looking down

They said "you'll push and you'll strain and you'll struggle as you make your way to the top

"You'll find out everything you really are and everything you're not"

The air was thin, the wind was cold, I couldn't stop to look around

When I was standing on top of a mountain, looking down

I found people who tried to push me on, and ones who tried to pull me off

There were people who saw how far I'd come and said it's not enough

We climb every inch we can manage, but we all come back to the ground

We're just standing on top of a mountain, looking down
