lyrics

There will always be
A mountain before you,
and It will always be
Rising from the ground
to impossible heights.

And you're left screaming
"Somebody help me"
But no one's listening
You are all alone

You're not living your dream, (You're living your reality)
Wake up from your sleep, (See things for what they are)

There is no ending,
Always something that stops you,
And in this moment
Everything tests you

Pushing you backwards
There's no way to win this game
The second you make it
You have to start it all over again
And again

Why do I keep going back?
What other choice do I have?
Somehow I'm still holding on...

Maybe it's not for nothing.

You're not living your dream (you're living your reality)
Wake up from your sleep (See things for what they are)
There will always be a mountain, and as you reach the peak,
Your fingers are aching, your body is worn,
Your body is worn,
But you can feel the sun.
