Mountains Rivers Storms And Tears

Grandpa said we were inseparable

Me and that old hound

On a hundred acre spread

The only playmate to be found

When that old dog died I cried and cried

And thought my world would end

It's rough at seven losing your best friend

Grandpa held in his arms and said

(Chorus)

There will be mountains on your path

There will be rivers you must cross

There will be storms that bring you down

And tears and times of loss

But all the things that hurt you most

Are the ones that make you strong

God will give you strength to carry on

There will be mountains

The big city lights were calling me

By the time I turned eighteen

So I packed my bags and said goodbye

I'm off to chase my dreams

On the ladder of success

I'm trying hard to climb each day

It always seems like somethings in my way

When I think of giving up

I hear him say

(Repeat Chorus)

There will be rivers

Someday when I have children of my own

When their hearts get broken

Grandpa's words I'll pass along

(Repeat Chorus)

There will be storm clouds

There will be rivers

There will be mountains
