Ben Witkowski - Mountain Man Lyrics

Here's a story of a man who tried
A man who tried to live his life
A man who knew there was more to this
Than to sit around and take no risks

It started fine, he was alright
He had no fear and was sincere
And despite his parents split at the age of nine
There was a silver line

Coz he always thought when he was a kid
That he'd rule the world, if he hadn't yet
But the sadness came and it took its grip
On all he had and all he did

"Get a normal job and don't chase your dreams
There's a reason why they're in your sleep"
Said a voice he had not heard before and that he would not let win

So step outside to this great big world
With one big breath and open eyes
And the voice inside his head when he was a kid
Came back and was by his side

Said "you are more brave thank you think, son
So come with me and we'll chase the sun
And watch the waves crash on the land
That we've come to know and come to love

And follow the leaf that falls from the tree
To the trail that leads to the mountain side
Where the river runs into the night
And this brand new journey comes to life

It's a beautiful world if you open up
If you wear a smile and you give enough
And you make the most of every day
Up that mountain high

With your mind, you can break
Any fall that you take
And in your eyes, you can see
You are where you're meant to be
And the man that you thought
That you were all along
Well he's here by your side
A mountain man alive"

Far away he lives a mountain man alone in time
With not a care at all it's this he calls the real life
So hold on tight, this is the story of the man who tried
The story of a mountain man who tried to live his life

So lift your head
Long road ahead
The world in your hands
You are a lone mountain man

So lift your head
Long road ahead
The world in your hands
You are a lone mountain man
