The Mountain
Lachlan Bryan & The Wildes Lyrics

A satellite from far away is connecting us from outer space
Despite the advanced technology we have that connects us in ways never before possible, we still feel disconnected from others.

And we're still alone
Even with all the ways that we can connect with others, we still feel isolated and lonely.

We reach so far with our planes and cars
We travel great distances and use modern transportation to explore the world around us.

And find true love in lonely bars
Sometimes we find meaningful connections in unexpected and unconventional places, such as a place like a bar that is typically associated with loneliness rather than love.

And we make our own happiness and loneliness
We have control over our own emotions and how we feel about ourselves and our lives. Sometimes we choose to be happy, and sometimes we choose to be lonely.

And we're all a little sad inside our souls
Despite our best efforts to be happy, we all experience sadness and pain at times.

And we don't believe in fairytales that kick the dirt right from your pails
We know that life isn't always easy or glamorous, and we don't fall for unrealistic stories that promise an easy and perfect life.

And try to build a mountain with the holes
We try to make the best of what we have, even if it seems like we're working with something imperfect or incomplete.

A highway not far away is finding us without a place
Despite our ability to travel and explore new places, we still sometimes feel lost and without direction in life.

To comfort our own demons with a friend
We often turn to our closest friends and loved ones to help us cope with our own personal struggles and challenges.

And longitude and attitude they push away with kicking boots
We sometimes push away the things that could help us find happiness and success, either because of our own mindset or our physical location.

And the demons rescue us again
Our own personal struggles and challenges continue to resurface and affect our lives, no matter how hard we try to push them away.

Let's try to build a mountain
Despite the challenges we face, we can still strive to achieve great things and make the most of the tools and resources we have available to us.

Try to build a mountain
We must work hard and stay committed to our goals, even when it seems like the odds are stacked against us.

Let's try to build a mountain with the holes
Even if our circumstances aren't perfect, we can work with what we have and overcome obstacles in creative and resourceful ways.

And we're still alone
Despite our hopes and efforts to connect with others and achieve our goals, we still inherently feel alone and isolated at times.
