Fire in engine, lights on the long road ahead
I know where I'm goin' - far from this life I have led
I took a wrong turn, away from the one that I love
Too long in this valley of shadow, I wandered just lost
Days became weeks - months became years
Now night is calling, yet I have no fear
This is a mountain and I'm the Mountaineer
I know that it's only tears and feelings they disappear
Yes I know that cos I am the Mountaineer
Yes I know that I know that ah yeh
Winters have passed and summers have faded away
But hope springs eternal as autumn colours the glade
They say the night's at its deepest just 'fore the dawn
And I got a feeling, the best days are yet to come
The forest is deep and the summit so sheer
The sky is falling but I got no fear
This is a mountain and I'm the Mountaineer
I know that it's only tears and feelings they disappear
Yes I know that cos I am the Mountaineer
I'm climbing back to the world, back to my beautiful girl
And I know that she's gonna be right there
I know that, yes I know that, I said I know that
Cos I'm the Mountaineer
I keep on climbing yeah
I keep on climbing yes I do
