The Mountain
T-Free Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Take a little time to see what you have
Take a little time to smile
Let's stay here for a while

Cause you've been climbing mountains, you've been doing fine
Yeah you've been climbing mountains, you've been doing fine

Been looking for the top, been looking all around
Turning every rock in the sea
Looking for the place you should be

But you've been climbing mountains, you've been doing fine
Yeah you've been climbing mountains, you've been doing fine

Take a little time, you will see a sign
Look at all the freedom, freedom
Take a little time to shine
To feel the scent of the pine

Cause you've been climbing mountains, you've been doing fine
Yeah you've been climbing mountains, you've been doing fine

Been looking for the top, been looking all around
Look at all the freedom, freedom
Turning every rock in the sea
Looking for the place you should be





But you've been climbing mountains, you've been doing fine
Yeah you've been climbing mountains, you've been doing fine
