The Mountain Songtext
von Bruce Sudano

Everybody′s 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 can't look at the mountain
When you′re reaching for the sky
You can't look at the mountain
It's always up too high
Casts a mighty shadow
Lets no light into your eyes
When all you′ve got is faith to fly

Don′t look at the mountain
Or you won't 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 you′re 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 you've got is faith to fly

Don't look at the mountain
When you′re 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 don′t 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 don′t look at the mountain
When you're reaching for the sky
