about

This song was originally released in a different age with different people and a different feeling in the air. I rerecorded it and all the others that go with it, and am preparing an official release sometime soon, God help me.

Because it's only sort of done, this unofficial version of I am a mountain will be available on BC for a limited time!

lyrics

I AM A MOUNTAIN

I am a mountain, I am Father Time.
I am a memory, a reminder, of the old things.
I am a monument. I never forget.
I am a sculpture of a former life.

Secretly, I’m not tall, I’m small.
The exposure makes me shy.
Failure’s not an option, I cannot take it back.
I’m naked at the summit, I’m lost in the avalanche. You can use me, you can climb me.
I will lift you up, I’m not like the rest.

I’m the voice that supports you,
The voice that affirms you.
I will never contradict you,
I say yes.

Talk to me. Talk to me.
You can laugh at the world, and I’ll laugh back.
Climb me. You can climb me.
We can sing together, or apart.

Higher than the wind can wind,
Darker than the storm that blacks the sky,
Sweeter than the water flowing down me,
The oldest metaphor we know.

I am listening. What do you need?
You lack the journey. I will oblige.
A mountain to conquer,
A memory to make.

Simpler, much simpler than you think.
To climb is easier.
To think is to wait.
