Lyrics

Got the wind at my back
And the mountain ahead of me
The sun’s in my eyes
It”s a new day
Got a woman back home
She knows where I’m led
And so she kissed me goodbye
I’m on my way
Though this mountain is someplace I’d rather not go
And it’s farther than I’ve ever climbed
Something inside tells me I’ve got to know if I can
And now is the time

Oh the wind is lifting me up as I go
Up this mountain, each step of the way
She sings to me softly and says
“Take it slow and breathe easy -
You don’t need to get there today”
Because what’s ahead and what’s left behind
Are the essence of who I will be
I’ll take one more step
And I’ll focus my mind
On the wind, the mountain and me.

Got the wind at my back
And the mountain’s right here
And the sun’s shining bright
It’s a new day
I’m not always sure what I’m doing is right
Cause I’m traveling a path only few may
So I’m praying that God by my side will remain
I can feel that he’s here and I know
I can still hear the wind and she’s calling my name
Telling me I don’t have far to go

Yeah the wind is lifting me up as I go
Up this mountain, each step of the way
She sings to me softly and says
“Take it slow and breathe easy -
You don’t need to get there today”
Below me is everything I’ve ever known
And above is what I hope to be
I know on this journey I’m never alone
It’s the wind, the mountain and me.
