Up winding roads that never stop

I try to reach the mountaintop

To be the cream of this ol' crop

To see as far as I can see

I reach for stones that break away

The sky grows cloudy, dark and gray

The peak still seems so far away

It turns, and runs away from me

Mountain, river, ocean

This is gravity in motion

I reach, I slip, I cry in pain

Wondering if I should try again

And with the melting of the snow

A little stream begins to flow

I track it down and watch it grow

To see where it will carry me

The river flows, I let it lead

We rush downhill with urgent speed

I pray, please take me where I need

But it just casts me out to sea

Mountain, river, ocean

This is gravity in motion

I climb so high but fall so low

Wonderin' where this journey goes

The waves come crashing with the tide

They toss me round from side to side

I fight the pull, I swim, I try

I know not where they carry me

The waves and I begin to blend.

No longer foes, my deep blue friend,

Our rhythm plays out without end.

The ocean flows inside of me.

Mountain, river, ocean

This is gravity in motion

The highs, the lows, they come and go

All I can do is ride the flow
