| I stood on the edge of 8 years old
|
| On a mountain top in Minnesota
|
| Behind my old grade school
|
| We’d steady our nerve and take a breath
|
| Throwing ourselves to certain death
|
| But the kings of the hill must fight to keep their rule
|
| I went back there a couple years ago
|
| That mountain was twenty feet tall
|
| Skip to the scene where I was sixteen
|
| Taking my turn on the tilt-a-whirl
|
| Holding the hand of a brown eyed girl
|
| I thought would be the one
|
| When the ride got rough we were torn apart
|
| The spinning stopped like a broken heart
|
| I blinked and she was gone
|
| I felt shipwrecked at the edge of the world
|
| But love came and found me again
|
| On the other side, where it’s easier to see the way
|
| His hand provides just in time to save the day
|
| And I realize the mountains I was scared to climb
|
| Aren’t as big as I thought they were
|
| When I’m on the other side
|
| Skip to the scene where I’m on my knees
|
| Holding on 'til the morning light
|
| Trying to trust when the money’s tight
|
| In a hope I can’t explain
|
| Crossword puzzles in the waiting room
|
| Praying for an answer soon
|
| To fill in all the blanks
|
| But I’ve been here many times before
|
| And love’s always carried me through
|
| To the other side, where it’s easier to see the way
|
| His hand provides just in time to save the day
|
| And I realize the mountains I was scared to climb
|
| Aren’t as big as I thought they were
|
| When I’m on the other side
|
| How many times am I destined to prove
|
| I can’t do this all on my own
|
| But there is freedom in failing and finding his mercy
|
| And standing in front of his throne
|
| I’m not as big as I thought I was
|
| So I won’t be afraid
|
| No matter what the trouble is I see today
|
| The maker of the mountains, He will make a way
|
| To lead me through the darkness to the other sideÂ
|
| Where it’s easier to see the way
|
| His hand provides just in time to save the day
|
| And I realize the mountains I was scared to climb
|
| Aren’t as big as I thought they were
|
| When I’m on the other side
|
| Every chapter that we’ve been through
|
| Has taught me to rely on you
|
| Jesus teach me that again |
