Ain't No Mountain High Enough
Spirit Traveler Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Ain't no valley low, ain't no river wide enough;
Baby if you need me call me no matter where you are,
No matter how far;
Just call my name; I'll be there in a hurry;
You don't have to worry,
'Cause baby there ain't no mountain high enough,
Ain't no river wide enough
To keep me from getting to you babe.
Remember the day I set you free
I told you you could always count on me
From that day on, I made a vow,
I'll be there when you want me,
Some way, some how.
'Cause baby there ain't no mountain high enough,
Ain't no valley low enough,
Ain't no river wide enough
To keep me from getting to you babe.
My love is alive
Way down in my heart
Although we are miles apart
If you ever need a helping hand,
I'll be there on the double
As fast as I can.
Don't you know that there
Ain't no mountain high enough,
Ain't no valley low enough,
Ain't no river wide enough
To keep me from getting to you babe.
No wind no rain or winters cold can stop me baby,
'Cause you are my goal.
If you're ever in trouble;
I'll be there on the double.
Just send for me, oh baby.
If you need me call me no matter where you are,
No matter how far;
Just call my name; I'll be there in a hurry;
You don't have to worry,
'Cause baby there ain't no mountain high enough,
Ain't no valley low enough,
Ain't no river wide enough
To keep me from getting to you babe.
The Spirit Traveler's song Ain't No Mountain High Enough is an anthem of love and commitment that transcends distance and obstacles. The lyrics express the unconditional devotion of the singer towards their lover, promising to always be there for them, no matter how difficult the circumstances may be. The repeated refrain of "ain't no mountain high enough, ain't no valley low enough, ain't no river wide enough" emphasizes the idea that nothing can keep the singer from reaching their beloved.
The song begins by setting the scene for the commitment that is to follow, with the singer telling their lover that they can call on them from anywhere, at any time. The promise to be there in a hurry and to eliminate any worry emphasizes the depth of the singer's devotion. The verse that follows reminds the lover that they have always been able to count on the singer, and that the singer will always be there for them in the future. The "vow" that the singer makes highlights the idea that this is not just a casual promise, but a solemn commitment.
The chorus repeats the idea that there is no obstacle that can prevent the singer from reaching their beloved, and reinforces the idea that the singer's love is powerful enough to conquer any barrier. The final verse emphasizes that the singer's love is always present, even when they are physically separated from their lover. The repeated promise to be there on the double, and the plea to just send for them, underscores the idea that the singer's beloved is never truly alone.
