Mountain High
A
Ahmad Yakubu
and a bright
gentle acoustic guitar
Pop ballad with a steady mid-tempo pulse
soft piano lifts
and a warm drum build from verse to chorus; verse stays intimate and sparse
pre-chorus rises with stacked harmonies
chorus opens wide with doubled lead and group responses. Add reversed swell into each chorus
delicate chime tails after key phrases
polished mix with emotional close-mic vocals.

Lyrics
[Verse 1]
You stand at the edge
I see it in your face
Old fear on your hands
Heavy as the rain
I know that road too well
I wore those bruises twice
But I won't let go now
Not on this side of night
[Pre-Chorus]
If the sky leans in
I'll lean in harder
If the walls move close
I'll move the border
[Chorus]
There's no mountain high
I won't climb for you
I'll fight every battle
You don't have to do
There's no mountain high
You're not facing alone
I will carry the weight
Till we get back home
(Back home)
(Back home)
[Verse 2]
I saw the cracks run deep
Through the floor and the flame
You kept your hands still
Still you said my name
So when the thunder rolls
And the dark comes cheap
I’ll be the line you hold
I’ll be the promise you keep
[Pre-Chorus]
If the sky leans in
I'll lean in harder
If the walls move close
I'll move the border
[Chorus]
There's no mountain high
I won't climb for you
I'll fight every battle
You don't have to do
There's no mountain high
You're not facing alone
I will carry the weight
Till we get back home
(Back home)
(Back home)
[Bridge]
Let it break, let it burn
I’m still standing here
With both hands out
Through the doubt and fear
If your voice shakes now
Mine will be loud
I'll meet you halfway
And I won't back down
[Final Chorus]
There's no mountain high
I won't climb for you
I'll fight every battle
You don't have to do
There's no mountain high
You're not facing alone
I will carry the weight
Till we get back home
(Back home)
(Back home)
There's no mountain high
No road too long
I’ll fight every battle
Till the fear is gone
You stand at the edge
I see it in your face
Old fear on your hands
Heavy as the rain
I know that road too well
I wore those bruises twice
But I won't let go now
Not on this side of night
[Pre-Chorus]
If the sky leans in
I'll lean in harder
If the walls move close
I'll move the border
[Chorus]
There's no mountain high
I won't climb for you
I'll fight every battle
You don't have to do
There's no mountain high
You're not facing alone
I will carry the weight
Till we get back home
(Back home)
(Back home)
[Verse 2]
I saw the cracks run deep
Through the floor and the flame
You kept your hands still
Still you said my name
So when the thunder rolls
And the dark comes cheap
I’ll be the line you hold
I’ll be the promise you keep
[Pre-Chorus]
If the sky leans in
I'll lean in harder
If the walls move close
I'll move the border
[Chorus]
There's no mountain high
I won't climb for you
I'll fight every battle
You don't have to do
There's no mountain high
You're not facing alone
I will carry the weight
Till we get back home
(Back home)
(Back home)
[Bridge]
Let it break, let it burn
I’m still standing here
With both hands out
Through the doubt and fear
If your voice shakes now
Mine will be loud
I'll meet you halfway
And I won't back down
[Final Chorus]
There's no mountain high
I won't climb for you
I'll fight every battle
You don't have to do
There's no mountain high
You're not facing alone
I will carry the weight
Till we get back home
(Back home)
(Back home)
There's no mountain high
No road too long
I’ll fight every battle
Till the fear is gone
