Well the mountain stands high up across the plains

Through the strong and the mystic season

He stands so tall lady snow she rests on his side

Never thinking at the end of the winter

She'd trade his soul for the river

And she'll flow away further and faster with time

Well the mountain is there still strong but bare

But the river is taking her home

Spring-time comes and he knows that he'll be alone

But at the end of the summer she'll return

But he knows that it ain't for him

She'll stand on the side of another broken mountain

I wish I was a mountain

So strong in my resolve

I wish I was a mountain

'Cause I would stand my ground and never fall

Well the winter returns to the mountain each year

But the mountain knows its never the same

And this year his lady snow, she came as rain

And she tore up his sides and crumbled his cliffs

And mud, like his tears, rained down

But he stood tall and would never topple to the ground

I wish I was a mountain

So strong in my resolve

I wish I was a mountain

'Cause I would stand my ground and never fall

Well the winter returns to the mountain each year

But the mountain knows its never the same

And this year his lady snow, she came as rain

I wish I was a mountain

So strong in my resolve

I wish I was a mountain

'Cause I would stand my ground and never fall

Yes, I would stand my ground and never fall

Yes, I would stand my ground and never fall

I wish I was a mountain

I wish I was a mountain

I wish I was a mountain...
