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."
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
