Mighty Mountains

Well I was only seventeen
 I found myself caught in between
 What you could say was life and fantasy
 That crooked road seemed all too steep
 It stretched beyond what I could see
 And left a thousand fallen in its path
 But at last I saw the future
 Every moment that could be
 Oh I found that life was waiting there for me
 I knew that I could get there someday
 Had to try and find my own way
 No one else could tell me what to do
 But like so many there before me
 Failure wrote another story
 Left behind a humbled broken soul
 But at last I saw the future
 Every moment that could be
 Oh I found that life was waiting there for me
 Only for a moment I'd forgotten why we came
 Not unlike my father mighty mountains call my name
 Oh the explanations and excuses we could find
 But unlike my father those mighty mountains I will climb
 I will run
 Through the valley below
 Let's get drunk
 From the river it holds
 As the sun
 Leads the way
 And the light begins to fade
 Only now I remember why we came
 It's strength we find when we are weak
 It's faith that moves the tallest peak
 And love that lasts for long after we're gone
 But few can truly know the cost
 And all who wander are not lost
 For love will lead the tired and troubled home
 'Cause at last I see the future
 Every moment that can be
 And I've found that life is waiting here for me
 I will run
 Through the valley below
 Let's get drunk
 From the river it holds
 As the sun
 Leads the way
 And the light begins to fade
 Only now I remember why we came see less
