The Mountain

THE MOUNTAIN - Written by Carroll Bryant 

I was hanging on the side of a dream 

When a man appeared next to me 

With words of comfort and a look in his eyes 

And I knew not to fear

And I knew I wasn't lonely 

And my body soon came alive with energy 

And he smiled

And he said

You can climb the mountain if you try 

This world is like a mountain and you can climb it

You don't want to die like you're wishing deep inside

Your soul is crying

You don't really want to die

Life is like a dream in that inside we are flurried 

And our eyes are blind

The meaning of it all may not be obvious 

But it's there so, keep hope alive

Faith for the sad ones

Still his words I could not break away from

You can climb the mountain if you try 

This world is like a mountain and you can climb it

You don't want to die like you're wishing deep inside

Your soul is crying

You don't really want to die

This man was a stranger to me and so was I 

I knew his motive and prayers and I knew why 

Why he had the power and gave me some conviction 

And knew the truth within my heart and every mountain 

Any mountain can be climbed 

I was hanging on the side of a dream

When the man came down to talk to me 

He gave me hope 

He gave me faith 

He gave me another reason to try 

You can climb the mountain if you try 

This world is like a mountain and you can climb it

You don't want to die like you're wishing deep inside

Your soul is crying

You don't really want to die

I will climb the mountain 

I will climb the mountain

Even if I don't make it I would have tried
