Beyond the Mountain

Beyond the Mountain

A song about climbing through the darkest valleys — and discovering the strength waiting beyond the mountain.

Verse 1

I was climbing up a mountain road

Searching for my way home

Through valleys dark and silent

I walked that road alone

Some days the path was hidden

Some nights I simply cried

Some nights I cried from weariness

Too tired to even pray

But somewhere in the silence

A whisper found my way

Just keep walking forward

One more step today

Chorus

Step by step I climbed that mountain

Stone by stone and breath by breath

Through the valleys of the shadows

Through the fear and through the depth

Now I’m standing beyond the mountain

Where I feel the quiet winds on my skin

All the tears that once were falling

Have turned into strength within

Verse 2

Sometimes life can pull you downward

Like the mountain gives away

You find yourself back in the valley

Where the light has slipped away

But you rise up from the falling

Brush the dust off where you’ve been

And start walking toward the summit

Step by step again

Bridge

If you’re climbing up your mountain

Through the dark you cannot name

Just keep taking one more heartbeat

One more step through wind and rain

Final Chorus

Step by step I climbed that mountain

Stone by stone and breath by breath

Through the valleys of the shadows

Through the fear and through the depth

Now the climb is finally behind me

And the open sky begins

Where I feel the quiet winds on my skin

And the peace that lives within
