Lyrics

They said “You’ll never climb that mountain, It doesn’t matter what you believe
Even if you get a run for the hill, you’re bound to run out of steam”
I said “I was born on the mountain, adversity feels like home
Straight to the top go my two feet, and they’ve only got two speeds
I’m either stopped or gone”

Stopped or gone
Holding on or running like the Devil
And if I linger too long
More than the dust will settle

They said, “You’ll never cross the swollen river, it’s far too rough and wide
You’ll be lost in the undertow, far better than you have tried”
I said, “I was raised on the river, Mother taught me there to swim and row
On either side I’ll walk its banks, and I’m always giving thanks
To the shallows where the currents slow”

Stopped or gone
Holding on or running like the Devil
And if I linger too long
More than the dust will settle

I was born on the mountain, adversity feels like home
Straight to the top go my bare feet, and they’ve only got two speeds
I’m either stopped or gone
I won’t carry the weight of your opinions of my life
No I will travel the road I go, whether I’m wrong or right
I was born on the mountain, adversity feels like home
Straight to the top go my two feet, and they’ve only got two speeds
I’m either stopped or gone
I’m either stopped or gone
I’m either stop-
