Gonna’ Take a Mountain
Gary Culley
Lately, I've been caught up on life’s carousel just spinning me around
When I finally find my footing
Some joker comes and knocks my ass to the ground
Maybe it is my age, seems the do is never done
Like the pull and the push between a father and son
It's gonna take a mountain
An open sky to pray
A cold clear river to wash my worries away
Find myself a forest of tall southern pines
Get lost as I breathe in the warm sunshine
It’s gonna’ take a mountain this time
It’s gonna’ take a mountain this time
When I look back on the years well I admit I don’t have many complaints
Love came easy, love came quick
But right now love is why my heart breaks
It has me walking through a season I’ve never seen or felt before
Maybe it’s just father time guiding me toward something more
It's gonna take a mountain
An open sky to pray
A cold clear river to wash my worries away
Find myself a forest of tall southern pines
Get lost as I breathe in the warm sunshine
It’s gonna’ take a mountain, a river this time
It’s gonna’ take a mountain, a river this time
Got to leave the traffic, the distractions, the noise
Go find what brings me joy
It’s gonna take a mountain, a river, an open sky
It’s gonna take a mountain a river, this time
It’s gonna take a mountain, a river, an open sky
It’s gonna take a mountain, I’m gonna climb

song story
Another brand-new song, Gary wrote this one about calming qualities of wilderness. How a cold clear river washes your worries away. An open sky clears the mind. A forest of tall pine trees resets perspective, and how sitting high atop a mountain can help to reclaim a sense of self.
