When I was young I heard the stories

About the people who could make the mountains flee

And every now and then, someone would tell me

I could do the same if I believed

So one summer night, I looked out my window

And I closed my eyes and listened to the wind blow

And I tried to move a mountain

I wished for it to crumble at my feet

I tried one thing after another

but I couldn't shake a leaf

I never knew that the mountain

Had a lesson it would teach

Cause as tall as I got, I still lived in its shadow

I watched it tower over me

Till one summer day, I thought I heard it call me

So I closed my eyes and then changed into my blue jeans

And I learned how to move a mountain

It was harder than I dreamed it would be

But I set one foot down past the other

Till the mountain was under me

And I felt like I could see forever

When the truth hit my senses suddenly

This mountain wasn't nearly the first one that I'd moved

God had seen my victory

Every time I put my weaknesses behind me

And I close my eyes and let His mercy find me

I know how to move a mountain

I have to fall down on my knees

Then I get back on my feet and head on upward

Till I make it to the peak

And the mountain's under me
