A mountain is a large landform that stretches above the surrounding land in a limited area usually in the form of a peak. A mountain is generally steeper than a hill. The adjective montane is used to describe mountainous areas and things associated with them. The study of mountains is called orography. Exogeology deals with planetary mountains, which in that branch of science are usually called montes (singular—mons). The highest mountain on Earth based from sea level is Mount Everest (8,848 m (29,029 ft)) in the Himalayas of Asia. The highest known mountain in the Solar System is Olympus Mons on the planet Mars at 21,171 m (69,459 ft). Mountains and mountain ranges on Earth are typically formed by the movement and/or interaction of lithospheric plates.
There is no universally accepted definition of a mountain. Elevation, volume, relief, steepness, spacing and continuity have been used as criteria for defining a mountain. In the Oxford English Dictionary a mountain is defined as "a natural elevation of the earth surface rising more or less abruptly from the surrounding level and attaining an altitude which, relatively to the adjacent elevation, is impressive or notable."

Once upon a time in a land called fantasy
Seventeen mountains stood so high
Sea surrounded them an' together they would be
Only thing that ever made you cry
You said the devil told you that another mount will appear
Everytime somebody broken your heart
He said the sea would one day overflow with all your tears
An' love will always leave you lonely
I say it's only mountains an' the sea
Love will conquer if you just believe
It's only mountains an' the sea
There's nothing greater, you an' me
Once upon a time in a haystack of despair
Happiness sometimes hard to find, yeah
Africa divided, hijack in the air
It's enough to make you want to lose your mind
I say it's only mountains an' the sea
Love will conquer if you just believe
It's only mountains an' the sea
There's nothing greater, you an' me
Guitars an' drums on the run
Mummy, I'm comin'
It's only mountains an' the sea
There's nothing greater, you an' me
Starvation
SO TALL, SILENT AGAINST THE SKY
UP THROUGH THE CLOUDS WHERE EAGLES FLY
WIND AND RAIN BEAT DOWN ON ONE SO STRONG
THEY CUT BUT NEVER CHANGE, WHAT STOOD SO LONG
TALL AS A MOUNTAIN, I'M GONNA TEAR THROUGH THE SKY
LIFE'S FOR THE TAKIN'
LIKE A MAN IS A MOUNTAINSIDE
GREATNESS WAITS FOR THOSE WHO TRY
NONE CAN TEACH YOU, IT'S ALL INSIDE
JUST CLIMB
I AM IN THE GROUND, I AM IN THE AIR, I AM ALL
I LIVE IN THE HEARTS OF ALL MEN
I AM THE CALL TO GREATNESS
NOT ALL CAN HEAR
I AWAKEN THE CREATOR, IN THOSE WHO DARE
AND THE DAY WILL COME, WHEN WE ALL MUST DIE
AND ENTER THE MOUNTAINSIDE
TALL AS A MOUNTAIN, I'M GONNA TEAR THROUGH THE SKY
LIFE'S FOR THE TAKIN'
LIKE A MAN IS A MOUNTAINSIDE
GREATNESS WAITS FOR THOSE WHO TRY
NONE CAN TEACH YOU, IT'S ALL INSIDE
JUST CLIMB
I HAVE NO FEAR
DEATH AND GLORY
BOTH DRAW NEAR
LIKE A MAN IS A MOUNTAINSIDE
GREATNESS WAITS FOR THOSE WHO TRY
NONE CAN TEACH YOU, IT'S ALL INSIDE
Lucinda Jones, working at IHOP
Ten years worth of bacon, eggs and tears
She's waited on every creed and color
While waiting on this day to get here
Graveyard shifts, two big tips
Making every quarter count
Was worth it all to see her son
In that cap and gown
There are times in life when you gotta crawl
Lose your grip, trip and fall
When you can't lean on no-one else
That's when you find yourself
I've been around and I've noticed that
Walking's easier when the road is flat
Them danged ole hiils'll get you every time
Yeah, the good Lord gave us mountains
So we could learn how to climb
Bobby, Bobby Dunn came back from the war
Lost his leg but they couldn't take his will
Hell bent to run in that local marathon
He trained through the endless pain and pills
It hurt so bad that sometimes he just had to cry
He didn't stop until he crossed that finish line
There are times in life when you gotta crawl
Lose your grip, trip and fall
When you can't lean on no-one else
That's when you find yourself
I've been around and I've noticed that
Walkin's easier when the road is flat
Them danged ole hiils'll get you every time
Yeah, the good Lord gave us mountains
So we could learn how to climb
This world ain't fair
It can knock you on your butt
You can just lie there
Or you can get back up
You gotta get back up
There are times in life when you gotta crawl
Lose your grip, trip and fall
When you can't lean on no-one else
That's when you find yourself
I've been around and I've noticed that
Walkin's easier when the road is flat
Them danged ol' hiils'll get you every time
Yeah, the good Lord gave us mountains
(The good Lord gave us mountains)
So we could learn how to climb
He said I'm going to have a bed with lots of pillows
And that we're going to build a house with lots of windows
And when we have the kids we'll tell them to remind we
Of where we were and how so we never get lazy
Yeah we'll climb mountains
Climb mountains together
Yeah we'll climb mountains
Climb mountains together
I'd never work these hours if I didn't love you
My hands are always red and sunshine I sleep through
If you say we're going to move somewhere with neighbours less crazy
You know I'm going to be there, because I trust my baby
Yeah we'll climb mountains
Climb mountains together
Yeah we'll climb mountains
Climb mountains together
I keep my fingers crossed that we're going to be able
I touch the wood for luck, on our broken table
I know that it's our heart that's going to save us
If we never come back how can they blame us?
Yeah we'll climb mountains
Climb mountains together
Yeah we'll climb mountains
Climb mountains together
Yeah we'll climb mountains
Climb mountains together
Yeah we'll climb mountains
I took a bite out of a mountain range,
Thought my teeth would break, the mountain did...
Let's go, I want to go
All the way to the horizon...
I took a drink out of the ocean and I'm treading water there before I drown
Let's dive, I want to dive
To the bottom of the ocean
Took a ride, I took a ride,
I wouldn't go there without you.
Let's take a ride, we'll take a ride,
I wouldn't leave here without you.
I am a mountain.
I am the sea.
You can't take that away from me...
I am a mountain.
I am the sea.
You can't take that away from me...
'Cause you tear us apart, with all the things you don't like,
You can't understand that I won't leave 'til we're finished here, and then you'll find out
Where it all went wrong...
I wrote a note to the jungle and,
They wrote me back that I was never crowned...
King of the jungle, so there's an end to my horizon...
Took a ride, I took a ride,
I wouldn't go there without you.
Let's take a ride, we'll take a ride,
I wouldn't leave here without you
I am a mountain.
I am the sea.
You can't take that away from me...
I am a mountain.
I am the sea.
'Cause you tear us apart, with all the things you don't like
You can't understand that I won't leave 'til we're finished here, and then you'll find out
Where it all went wrong...
Nothing lasts forever, except you and me.
You are my mountain, you are my sea...
Love can last forever, between you and me.
You are my mountain, you are my sea...
I am a mountain...
I am the sea...
You can't take that away from me.
I am a mountain...
I am the sea...
I am a mountain...
One more problem.
How you've got them.
All tied up with a million things to do.
Two more problems, how I've got them.
One is someone else.
Two is you.
I hate that it had to come to this so fast.
How else would i know if we would last.
Making mountains out of mole hills, taking fountains past their filf.
Making mountains out of mole hills, and making me want to kill.
Every wonder, every question, every thing that I'm not so sure is real.
Every funny look, every stop and stare,
every doubt in my mind that you still care.
I hate that it had to come to this so fast.
How else would i know if we would last.
Making mountains out of mole hills, taking fountains past their filf.
Making mountains out of mole hills, and making me want to kill.
Making mountain, taking fountains, shaking grounds with tinny problems.
Co-created from the way you give direction with affection.
Making mountains out of mole hills, taking fountains past their filf.
Along the mighty mountainsides
Fog creeps beneath the tops
A winding climb upon steep mountains
To where the glacial tongue becomes my path
Upon the mighty mountains heights
These plateaus of my dreams
I am at the greatest sight of all
To where the glacial arms reach for me
Highest mountains hear my call
To you I'll guide myself
The time has come for me to reach
I'm brough too far to turn
Tops that seem unreachable
Tower in the sky
Horizon to horizon
On platforms yield with wind
Mountains of ice calm in my sight
Platforms built by wind
Mountains of ice calm in my sight
Platforms built for kings
Along the mighty mountainsides
Fog creeps beneath the tops
A winding climb upon steep mountains
To where the glacial tongue becomes my path
Highest mountains hear my call
To you I'll guide myself
The time has come for me to reach
I'm brough too far to turn
I know it's hard
When hope is that far
To walk alone with that torn heart
Through a broken world that seems to fall apart
So take your time
No need to run
These cliffs and heights we'll overcome
Across these peaks, there's more to life that will come
Oh I'm on my knees, so I'm on my knees
It's a battle that we can fight
'Cause together now we will rise
We're gonna move those mountains
We're gonna move those mountains one at a time
Open your eyes
With a little faith by our side
We're gonna move those mountains
We're gonna move those mountains one at a time
We're gonna move those mountains
Through obstacles
We walk these roads
And when it seems impossible
We pray for all those miracles to come
And though these hills
Taunt us like riddles
We can push them aside if we trust a little
If we're on our knees then we won't have to climb
So I'm on my knees, so I'm on my knees
It's a battle that we can fight
'Cause together now we will rise
We're gonna move those mountains
We're gonna move those mountains one at a time
Open your eyes
With a little faith by our side
We're gonna move those mountains
We're gonna move those mountains one at a time
It's an uphill battle and though the journey's long
I'm gonna hold you till the hurt and the pain is gone
With the help of God we can carry on
I'm on my knees for you, praying on my knees for you
It's an uphill battle and though the journey's long
I'm gonna hold you till the hurt and the pain is gone
Though we are weak, yes He is strong
And it's a battle that we can fight
'Cause together now we will rise
We're gonna move those mountains
We're gonna move those mountains one at a time
Open your eyes
With a little faith by our side
We're gonna move those mountains
We're gonna move those mountains one at a time
We're gonna move those mountains
God damn these roots and how they plunge
Into this hard packed northern ground
Beneath the frost line lies my love
Where it is firmly held in place for now
We've had miles of mountains
Surrounding us all the way
And now those same old mountains
Do nothing but separate
Can I plant myself here
Right beside you
I can't take my place
Amongst these trees
I'm sick of waiting for the wind to blow you back to me
God damn that breeze that caught your wings
The one that pulled you toward the sea
The bird that left here no longer sings
Well at least no not for me
I couldn't stay grounded so I uprooted and walked away
Through the miles of mountains
There's somthing in your ways
That makes me wanna stay here for a thousnd years
So just cry your fears, yea I need you everyday
Inside you I just want to wype away your fears
So just cry your tears yea
I wish I was with you
If I stay well than your tears will set you free
If I stay right here and for ever with you everything
I feel for you Is everything I want to stay with you
If I stay right here and forever with you
My eyes!
My eyes
This is tearing me apart I wish I could be in your soft arms
Feel you again
Anytime I feel like im to far
Than I will try to remember all ours and your memories I know
I wish I was in you
If I stay Well then your tears will set you free
If I stay right here and forever with you
Everything I feel for you Is everything I want to stay with you
If I stay right here
And forever with you
My eyes! my eyes
We saw Carol and Steven.
On ships passing out to sea.
then found (?), saw you laughing...saw you laughing
Now that you disgrace him (?)
From there (?), most at sea
Higher (?), the dirty mountains
They'll march (?) out to sea, out sea...out to sea...out
Curious moon, shine tonight
Make this dark world of truths bright
The schizoid sons and the sluts live on,
And on, to find their coffins
Ignorance has got us down,
So far that we smother in the underground
Because we want to
The idiots have no name, but we have troubles,
We have love just the same as all of you do
Can't you see the Poison Moon?
It's calling to you, calling to you
The idiots are in a line marching under the moon
Do you have to live in a world of nails
And leave your soul in an empty pail?
Don't talk to me about the end
I've seen the bomb, it's been my best friend
Misery has got us down,
So far we struggle in the underground,
Because we want to
See the child loose his mind?
Its funny how he's struggling to show a sign
He must be lying!
Can't you see the Poison Moon?
It' calling to you, calling to you
The miserable are in a line, marching under the moon
My inner sea ended at a lonely coast
I couldn't flee, in the mirror I saw a ghost
I screamed to the mountains, as I started to lose my mind
Headed for the summit of madness, peeling its rind
Its like if starving flame ate away
The fruits of the emotinal core
Too long I danced in that fire ballet, lunacy was the cure
At the mountains of madness
I came to my senses
'Cause i had been hypnotised
by peoples sadness
That slowly condenses
In their mission to dramatise
Their lives
Again, my visions got lost and my life began to descend
Like dreams lose their glare, every rainbow has an end... has an end
At the mountains of madness
I came to my senses
'Cause i had been hypnotised
by peoples sadness
That slowly condenses
In their mission to dramatise
Their lives
Their twisted expressions of mirth
Built a daily nightmare
I needed a flashback from birth
I've got mountains of problems.
They all catch me off guard and
start when I'm not looking.
They make noise when I'm sleeping.
I've got mountains of problems.
They all catch me off guard and
start when I'm not looking.
They make noise when I'm sleeping.
I've got mountains of mistakes.
They all come back to haunt me.
Every fork in the road I didn't take
has never once cut me a break.
So I'm leaving you for the man in the business suit.
My priorities and views are beginning askew.
Got a new code of ethics
used to think was pathetic.
Now I'm reaping benefits
Out of all my new conquests.
Got a new way of speaking
think it's rather ingenious.
I'm in a mountain of three syllables or less
you really want to sound modest.
So I'm leaving you for the man in the business suit.
He'll make all my dreams come true
since I've got nothing to lose.
I've got nothing to lose.
Oh, I don't understand you weren't invited but you came.
And I can't comprehend how she still don't know my name.
It's still the same,
nothing has changed.
I'm leaving you for the man in the business suit.
My priorities and views are beginning askew.
I'm leaving you for the man in the business suit.
He'll make all my dreams come true
since I've got nothing to lose.
Mountains all around me
reaching out to heaven
Wild and full of colours
standing proud forever Mountains all around me
reaching out to heaven
Wild and full of colours
I was just a boy
My father seemed a mountain then
With a voice that could shake the seas
My mother's ghost hung across his shoulders
And he said she was still watching over me
My brother was home
Just returned on army leave
Told his stories with a distant stare
And as it snowed
The wind was howling through the trees
And I spent my night just listening by the fire
My hands move the creases from my brow
Soft as a breath
It's like a feather
I dreamed of a lonely voice that night
Quiet as death
Outside my window
It sang a sad and lovely tune
Clear as a bell
Soft as a shiver
It said, I want you all the time
It said, I want you all the time
Goodbye bad thoughts
I'm safe under covers
So goodbye bad thoughts
'Cause I'm safe under covers
Fight the good fight of faith,
transform the life that you were called upon.
Rise up.
This matter is in your hands,
In your hands.
But we fail to follow him,
and he still guides us.
Take his hand and follow him,
he will guide us.
Show me your ways, teach me your path.
He is my strength, my shield,
and my heart will trust in him.
Your love is like mighty mountains.
This is in my hands,
and I'm never letting go.
Show me your ways, teach me in your path,
guide me in your eyes.
This is the life that your were called upon.
Rise up, this matter’s in your hands.
Get on the rocket ship and we'll go to the places you want
A cotton sky, now black with eyes
I don't know who's watching or whose not
But we will take a big old fan
It will power us through this great expanse
Make orange peels but don't you steal
All my love is in your hands
If I'm far in the mountains just call
But don't walk so slow
Cause I'm a slow walker too
We're in an ancient scroll
Characters tell a story one we don't yet know
If we cut our time here short
We'll be a cool breeze doing cartwheels in our ghostly forms
I think of you
If it's not too late, can we walk off the picture frame?
In deep
Dark night
Gonna ride out on a speedboat
Gonna ride out on the radio
Gonna fix my way possible
Gonna find myself a phone
We're so flammable
We glow we glow we glow
Mountains reach so close to the sun
One love takes you back where you've become
Oh the mountains
Gotta get free like a fat wave
Gotta get free from the circus
There's spaces for acrobats
But the jugglers are done
We're so flammable
We glow we glow we glow
Mountains reach so close to the sun
One love will take you back where you've become
Mountains
We fly so close to the sun
I need the heat of your love
We're falling seems we can't get up
I'm not losing you again
We're a step away from overload
Did you bring any water
We're so flammable
We glow we glow we glow
Mountains reach so close to the sun
One love takes you back where you've become
Somedays we get so far from where we've come
Mountains
Mountains
Mountains
We fly so close to the sun
Keaggy
Mountains above the clouds don't leave us in despair.
If you hear our voices loud, you'll surely find us there.
The path takes us up above to help us find our way,
You can see that we're in love with your tomorrow day.
So if our lives come down below the surface near,
The sun is still up high that leaves us without fear.
And still the clouds below are patient if we're late.
Cause even though we're slow, the mountains will wait.
So if our lives come down below the surface near,
You wrote me notes on paper bags
You strolled the roads as I turned back
Air was calm the sky was black
You wrote a list of things I lack
We've come to realise
We've opened up or eyes
You're a mountain I can't climb yet
And I'm a painting but you're blinded
Always have to justify how my tongue dances
We're barely getting by on taking chances
We've come to realise
It's us that we dispise
You're a mountain I can't climb yet
And I'm a painting but you're blinded
We've come to realise
