Lyrics Verified by Editorial Team

There is a mountain I'll cross over;

I cannot see the other side.

Will it be home or just another

mountain to climb? I can't decide.

Fortunately, I'll climb with a Friend, 

One who will carry me on to the end.

There is a mountain I'll cross over;

fortunately, I'll cross with a Friend.

 

There is an ocean I'll sail over;

I cannot read the coming tide.

Will it be still or stormy weather?

 

When will I reach the other side?

Fortunately, I'll sail with a Friend,

One who will guide with me on to the end.

There is an ocean I'll sail over;

Fortunately, I'll sail with a Friend.

 

There is a road that I must travel,

Blinded by headlights in the night.

Look for a map or a sign to guide me;

I just want to make, (make it home tonight).

Fortunately, I'll ride with a Friend,

One who will drive with me on to the end.

There is a road that I must travel;

Fortunately, I'll ride with a Friend.

 

There is a mountain that I gotta cross over

There is a mountain that I gotta cross over

There is a mountain that I gotta cross over

 

There is a mountain that I gotta cross over

 

There is a mountain I'll cross over;

I cannot see the other side.

Will it be home or just another

mountain to climb? (Oh, Lord, I can't decide).

Fortunately, I'll climb with a Friend, 

One who will carry me on to the end.

There is a mountain I'll cross over;

fortunately, I'll cross with a Friend.

 

I'll cross with a Friend.

I'll sail with a Friend.

I'll ride with a Friend.
