Verse 1
At the foot of the ridge I stand
Stones in my shoes, dirt in my hands
Everyone else is racing by
But I’ve learned not every climb
Has to be won in a day
Pre
The air is thin
But I breathe it in
The ground is steady
And so am I
Chorus
Mountains don’t move
But I do
Step by step
I break through
Slow is the song
But the song is true
Mountains don’t move
But I do
Verse 2
The path is written in crooked lines
Sometimes I fall, sometimes I rise
The summit hides behind the clouds
But my feet keep finding ground
And that’s enough to go on
Pre
The air is thin
But I breathe it in
The ground is steady
And so am I
Chorus
Mountains don’t move
But I do
Step by step
I break through
Slow is the song
But the song is true
Mountains don’t move
But I do
Bridge
Time is the river
Stone is the wall
But a stream keeps running
And outlives it all
Chorus
Mountains don’t move
But I do
Step by step
I break through
Slow is the song
But the song is true
Mountains don’t move
But I do
