Mountains

Listen to:

Every footstep every story untold
every sunset anchored in your hearts
every secret ready to unfold
all your dreams and all of your fears

every pebble in your shoes
and every time you were pulled apart
had to find a new home
did the world feel too big a place to roam

Echoes in the wind
whispers on the breeze
just like leaves just like leaves

And this is for you
this is for you
it’s all for you
all the mountains you’ve climbed
are still in my blood
it’s all for you
it’s all for you
all the things that made you strong
are still alive in me
like the most beautiful flower bud

Did you ever gaze at the moon
did you love God’s creation like I do
did you sing the ancient songs in tune
were your hearts open and free
something tells me you were survivors just like me

Echoes in the wind
whispers on the breeze
just like leaves just like leaves
like leaves like leaves

Oh this for you
All the mountains you’ve climbed are still in my blood
it’s all for you
it’s all for you
all the things that made you strong
are still alive in me

and I thank you for paving my way
and as I turn around
I won’t turn to salt
our souls in splendour are here to stay
like a shield like a shield like a shield

And this is for you
All the mountains you’ve climbed
are still in my blood
it’s all for
it’s all for you
all the things that made you strong
are still alive in me
like the most beautiful flower bud
