Mountains

Sitting in the station Contemplating looks on people's faces Wondering why they're smiling Or what troubles they are facing And I don't know why I'm thinking it But I just take the time to sit And wonder what their dream is And how they're trying to chase it When an old lady comes and sits next to me Says, next birthday I'll be 83 I fell in love with the world when I was 24 I've lived in Mexico, Columbia and Ecuador Sat next to the Taj Mahal while the sun was rising Spent a year in Australia chasing the horizon So take your guitar and do what you have to do She said I know what you're scared of I used to feel it too You're not scared of climbing mountains You're scared that you can't make them move Oh, oh, oh I'll move them for you I'll move them for you I'll move them for you Sitting in my bedroom around midday Writing these here words on this here page Thinking why on earth has this taken me so long No one has to listen or embrace my decision There's problems that I've written with this unseen ambition No one has permission to tell me what I think is wrong Because I know what I'm scared of I think you can see it too I'm not scared of climbing mountains I'm scared that I can't make them move Oh, oh, oh I'll move them for you I'll move them for you I'll move them for you When the most important piece of information that you've ever heard Is that soon you'll be sitting on top of the world I'll move them for you I'll move them for you I'll move it for you
