Lucy Spraggan Mountains song lyrics

Sitting in the station

Contemplating looks on people's faces

Wondering why they're smiling

Or what troubles they are facing

And I don't know why I'm thinking it

But I just take the time to sit

And wonder what their dream is

And how they're trying to chase it

When an old lady comes and sits next to me

Says, next birthday I'll be 83

I fell in love with the world when I was 24

I've lived in Mexico, Columbia and Ecuador

Sat next to the Taj Mahal while the sun was rising

Spent a year in Australia chasing the horizon

So take your guitar and do what you have to do

She said

I know what you're scared of

I used to feel it too

You're not scared of climbing mountains

You're scared that you can't make them move

Oh, oh, oh

I'll move them for you

I'll move them for you

I'll move them for you

Sitting in my bedroom around midday

Writing these here words on this here page

Thinking why on earth has this taken me so long

No one has to listen or embrace my decision

There's problems that I've written with this unseen ambition

No one has permission to tell me what I think is wrong

Because

I know what I'm scared of

I think you can see it too

I'm not scared of climbing mountains

I'm scared that I can't make them move

Oh, oh, oh

I'll move them for you

I'll move them for you

I'll move them for you

When the most important piece of information that you've ever heard

Is that soon you'll be sitting on top of the world

I'll move them for you

I'll move them for you

I'll move it for you
