Mountain
KAYAM Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And I, I'm losing my ground
I wish I could find
Peace in my mind
The way seems long
But feels so strong
Climbing the mountain
Rivers behind us
Valleys surround us
And oceans beneath us
Mountains surround our way
I know we can still grow
And will you let it show
In the valleys of rocks and stone
Along the rivers miles from home
