This Mountain (Visible Ink Version)

I imagine on the other side
There's a river and a gentle tide
The sun is always shining bright
And all is bright and beautiful
I made it through and I'm alive
Got this gorgeous rush of health and light
To think that after all that hell
That I'm finally well and wonderful
But my reality is staring back at me
And all I can see is
This Mountain
Daring me to climb this mountain
Will I fall behind
This mountain is mighty and I admit I might be scared
But this fighter
Is made of tougher stuff
I like her
She's far from giving up
This mountain is mighty and I admit I might be unprepared
But I'll do all I need
Because this mountain's got nothing on me
There's not much time to think it through
There's no manual or steps how to
You throw it all up in the air
On a wing and prayer
And see what falls
All I have is love and hope
One foot forward with determined scope
I must believe that I'll be fine
No more borrowed time
Even though
But my reality is staring back at me
And all I can see is
This Mountain
Daring me to climb this mountain
Will I fall behind
This mountain is mighty and I admit I might be scared
But this fighter
Is made of tougher stuff
I like her
She's far from giving up
This mountain is mighty and I admit I might be unprepared
But I'll do all I need
Because this mountain's got nothing on me
One day I'll look back
With a different view
I'll leave it all behind
And live my life with gratitude
And even now I see the surge in me
Setting me free with possibilities
Daring me to climb this mountain
Will I fall behind
This mountain is mighty and I admit I might be scared
But this fighter
Is made of tougher stuff
I like her
She's far from giving up
This mountain is mighty and I admit I might be unprepared
But I'll do all I need
Because this mountain's got nothing on me
