You are the mountain

(Verse 1)

God says, “slow down, baby, breathe,”

You’re racing like you’re late to be me

Want the crown but not the weight

Of all the nights that make you break

You stare at peaks you haven’t climbed

Skipping chapters, begging time

You want the glory, want the proof

But you haven’t earned the truth

(Bridge)

You judge the fire by the flame

But never ask what sparked the pain

You see reactions, not the cause

You never read the silent scars

(Chorus)

You see the mountain, not the fall

You see the win, not the crawl

You see the flower, miss the rain

You want the joy, avoid the pain

You see the shine, ignore the cost

You count what’s found, not what was lost

You swear you know what faith should be

But you don’t see the valley I can’t see

(Verse 2)

You see their wallet, not their heart

You don’t know where the story starts

Overnight success, you say

Like tears don’t stain the price you pay

They smile wide, they play it cool

Act like breaking’s something shameful

If they don’t bleed, you don’t believe

Like hurt needs proof for you to see

(Bridge)

You hear His name, you want His voice

But miss the miracles by choice

Too busy asking for your will

To notice what He’s building still

(Chorus)

You see the mountain, not the fall

You hear the song, not the call

You see the strength, not the fight

The prayers cried out every night

You want the prize without the walk

The promise without the talk

You think the dream is everything

But you don’t see what faith can bring

(Verse)

You ask for weapons you can’t hold

For battles you’re not ready for

You want the crown before the cross

The victory without the loss

You chase ambition, call it drive

But miss the reason you’re alive

You want results, you want control

But never stop to save your soul

(Bridge)

God’s word is free, but you don’t read

So you pay in ways you never see

You’re chasing things that fade with time

Ignoring truth that doesn’t lie

(Chorus)

You see the mountain, not the fall

You see the win, not the crawl

You see the flower, miss the rain

You want the joy, avoid the pain

You see the shine, ignore the cost

You count what’s found, not what was lost

You swear you know what faith should be

But you don’t see the valley I can’t see

(Bridge)

God’s word is free, but you don’t read

So you pay in ways you never see

You’re chasing things that fade with time

Ignoring truth that doesn’t lie

(Final Chorus)

They want the reward, they want the proof

They want the end, not the truth

But love was never something earned

It’s grace you’re given, lessons learned

You search the world for something new

When Heaven’s been right next to you

You think the treasure’s what you get

But Christ was always it

(Outro)

So be patient, let it hurt

Let the rain fall, let it work

You’ll thank the valley when you see

It made you who you’re meant to be
