“Standing On Top Of A Mountain” is the fourth track on Cold Holiday’s 2023 album “We Are All We Have.”
People told me the world was made of mountains and they said I had to climb
They said I’d never find what I wanted until I made my way up high
So I went everywhere they told me to go, they said I couldn’t make a sound
Till I was standing on top of a mountain, looking down
They said “you’ll push and you’ll strain and you’ll struggle as you make your way to the top
“You’ll find out everything you really are and everything you’re not”
The air was thin, the wind was cold, I couldn’t stop to look around
When I was standing on top of a mountain, looking down
I found people who tried to push me on, and ones who tried to pull me off
There were people who saw how far I’d come and said it’s not enough
We climb every inch we can manage, but we all come back to the ground
We’re just standing on top of a mountain, looking down
