Oh Geronimo - Mountains

We’re all ascending a mountain that we’ve made in our minds
We think obsessively about our mountains all of the time
You’ve got yours
and I’ve got mine
but to reach either peak, we must help each other climb

No one’s gonna do it for you
there are no stepping stones
‘cause at the core we’re all alone
I’m sick of hopeless remarks from everybody I know
they say there is no peak
there is no pot of gold

Now I’m on the shore of the largest lake
and I’m dying of thirst no matter how much I take
But my will is strong
metamorphic rock
you can knock me down
but you won’t see me break
You won’t see me break

I could bow to myself
and drive all my friends away
‘cause almost every day
my mountain begs me to break
but I stare it back in the face
and I speak the following phrase:

Oh, my past accomplishments don’t make me great
it’s how I conduct myself face-to-face
I’ll be remembered more for my mistakes
I’ll shatter vanity
I will not break

Though I’ve learned to scale all types of social terrain
for every friendship I forge, I leave one in my wake
But my will is strong
metamorphic rock
you can knock me down
but you won’t see me break
You won’t see me break
