Stand there, mountain, with your head in the sky
You've never loved, so you don't have to cry
Stand there, mountain, with your feet in the sea
You look so strong, yet you're so much like me

For someday an earthquake may tear at your heart
Then you'll be afraid, but that's only the start
For you'll fall, mountain, just a weakling like me
And that's why I stand here praying for fools such as we

And that's why I stand here praying for fools such as we
