I Am the Mountain

VERSE 1

I am the mountain -

not the climb

If I stop

What actually falls

⸻

VERSE 2 (shifting perspective)

I thought it was strength

but it felt like

never putting anything down

⸻

PRE-CHORUS

somewhere between building them up

and dragging them along

I forgot

…I wasn’t supposed to be moving at all

⸻

CHORUS (FIRST – restrained power)

I am the mountain

Not the climb

I never was

I’ve been standing still

while everything else runs

⸻

VERSE 3

it gets cold up here

harder to breathe

the higher you go

the less they see

⸻

PRE-CHORUS (build more)

people come and go

like I’m something to reach

but they don’t know

what it takes to be me

⸻

CHORUS (SECOND – strong)

I am the mountain

Not the climb

I never was

I’ve been the ground

they needed to reach it

⸻

BRIDGE (BIG MOMENT)

⸻

I thought I was carrying it

I thought I had to

I thought if I broke

everything would

⸻

…but I don’t move

⸻

FINAL CHORUS (FULL POWER)

⸻

I am the mountain

Not the climb

I am the mountain

I don’t ask to be seen

I don’t ask to belong

I change the landscape

just by standing strong

⸻

OUTRO (grounded, not flashy)

I don’t move

I don’t move

I don’t move
