I am...

I am a once strong mountain being weakened by the merciless river
I wonder how it will be before I crumble; fall to my knees
I hear the evil words of the rushing river putting me down once again
I see the others who suffer my fate as well
I want to see the end of this nightmare, but will it ever come?
I am a once strong mountain being weakened by the merciless river

I pretend I know how to escape the terrible fate
I feel as though I can't go on any more
I touch the hearts of others but I am quickly betrayed
I worry that the harsh river will be my demise
I cry out in the night praying this torture will end
I am a once strong mountain being weakened by the merciless river

I understand that is in the beautiful river's nature to hurt me
I say it will one day end
I dream that one day the river will see we are all the same
I try to take the river's constant unkind teasing
I hope that one day I will see the end of this hatred
I am a once strong mountain being weakened by the merciless river
