Andrew Peterson - Mountains on the Ocean Floor lyrics

My uncle's in the county jail His time is on his hands He knows he chose a barren cell Over a fair and fertile land He took another hit He hit another high He flew until he fell Just like he has a thousand times Nothing ever seems to change But miles away beneath the waves There are mountains Mountains on the ocean floor They're rising from the deep But no one ever sees No one ever sees I can't believe I landed there I swear I swore it off I know that I can't stand it here Still I came and took a fall I wish that I could shake it I wish that I was free I wish that I was half the man I wish that I could be There are mountains Mountains on the ocean floor They're moving up so slow No one ever knows No one ever knows Nothing ever seems to change But miles away beneath the waves Down below the dirt Hotter than a flame In the belly of the earth He has given you a Name There are mountains Mountains on the ocean floor They're rising from the deep Where no one ever sees There are mountains They're hidden there beneath the waves They're moving up so slow No one ever knows There's a molten heart of stone That is waiting to explode Only God can see it grow
