This Mountain
FAOUZIA Lyrics

Climbing up this mountain
I am trying to overcome this challenge

Climbing up twice
I have attempted this before but failed and I am now trying again

Hoping that I make it this time
I still have faith in myself even though I have failed before

But I'm so done with hoping
I am tired of relying on hope because it has led to disappointment

'Cause hoping is to failing is to
Hope can lead to disappointment which can result in failure

Falling down this mountain
I have failed again

Falling down again
I have experienced this type of defeat before

Boom, boom
The sound of my heart beating fast due to the challenge and fear of failure

Heart beats still beating in the end
Even though I feel defeated, I am still alive and will keep going

I'm choking
I am struggling and feeling overwhelmed

But that's just what they wanted
Others may be trying to bring me down or make me doubt myself

So I get up off the ground
I am choosing to not stay down or give up

And I shake it out
I am trying to let go of negative thoughts and feelings

Ra, da, da
A vocalization to express a sense of release and freedom

Come, look at me now
I am showing that I am still moving forward despite setbacks

I'm not here to talk
I am not interested in talking about my failures or doubts

I'm just here to walk
I am focused on taking action and making progress

I'm gonna make it up this mountain
I am determined to conquer this challenge

Show them what I'm made of
I want to prove to others that I am capable and strong

Show them what I've got
I want to demonstrate my skills and talents

I will, I will, I will
I am affirming my belief in myself and my ability to succeed

So mark my words
Remember what I am saying

Before you swallow yours
Do not doubt yourself or give up on your dreams

Started as a question
I was uncertain about my abilities

Ended as a fact
I know for certain that I can only rely on myself to succeed

When I found out I'm the only one that has my back
I realized that I need to be my own source of support and motivation

I'm drowning
I feel overwhelmed and like I am losing my ability to keep going

'Cause they fill my lungs with venom
Others may be trying to bring me down or discourage me

And the sharks are coming out
There may be people or obstacles that are trying to prevent me from succeeding

And they're hungry now, Ra, da, da
They are eager to see me fail or give up

I put them out
I am not allowing negativity or obstacles to prevent me from succeeding

Ay, before you swallow yours just like a pill
Do not let doubt or failure consume you

I would never lie
I am being honest and sincere
