There's this girl from this small town
She doesn't really fit in
Wants to leave and spread her wings
But she feels that she's boxed in
She says, "I'll never make it in the big city
'Cause things are always moving fast
Besides, where will I live? Where will I work?
So much to search, and I'm fresh out of cash"
Stop the excuses, don't believe the lies
Make up your mind and you've gotta try
Instead of...
Making mountains out of molehills
When they're not even real
Need to go and follow your dreams
Not as hard as it seems
(You gotta) try-y-y
(You gotta) try-y-y
You won't know unless you try
(You gotta) try-y-y
(You gotta) try-y-y
You won't know unless you try-y-y
Now let's fast-forward to the present
She lives in a high-rise right downtown
Makin' more money than she ever has in her life
Now she just looks back and laughs
To think she ever thought twice
She made up her mind
She did what she felt
She listened to her heart and nobody else
And she stopped
Making mountains out of molehills
When they're not even real
Need to go and follow your dreams
Not as hard as it seems
If there's ever a time you're doubting
I'll be right here to encourage you
If you feel like you're falling
Then just take my hand
I'll pick you up and show you
It's not as bad as what it seems
Making mountains out of molehills
When they're not even real
Need to go and follow your dreams
Not as hard as it seems
(You need to) try-y-y
(Just give it a) try-y-y
You won't know unless you try
