Too many times in the past
I tried to climb the mountain
But the inner voices laughed
Too many blocks in the road
I tried to find a new way
But there's nowhere else to go
But now I've silenced the crowd
Nothing can stand in my way
Throwing mountains to the sky
And the shadows reveal the horizon
Driving oceans to the side
And my footprints will cross the divide
New pressure's weighing me down
I want to take the first step
But I'm tethered to the doubt

I won't look back anymore
Nothing can stand in my way
Throwing mountains to the sky
And the shadows reveal the horizon
Driving oceans to the side
And my footprints will cross the divide
Too many times in the past
I ran toward the ocean
And I was frozen in my tracks
So many times on the path
I felt the power coursing
But the lightning didn't last
But now the movement is here
Nothing can stand in my way
Throwing mountains to the sky
And the shadows reveal the horizon
Driving oceans to the side
And my footprints will cross the divide
Throwing mountains to the sky
And the shadows reveal the horizon
Driving oceans to the side
And my footprints will cross the divide
