[Verse 1] You tell me I can’t, I hear a starting bell Say I’m too short, too heavy, too old to excel Call me every name that was meant to make me bend But I’ve got faith in my bones, and I will rise again [Pre-Chorus] I don’t need your permission I don’t need your doubt There’s a road beneath my footsteps And I’m taking it out loud [Chorus] I believe, I believe, when the mountain says stay Faith can move the stone and make a brand-new way If I speak to that mountain, it has got to hear What looks impossible to you is already shifting here I believe, I believe, let the whole world see The door may look locked, but it won’t stay closed on me [Verse 2] Paris, Texas, clouds were turning black that day An F4 came roaring, tearing through the gray A lady stood beside me, witnesses all around I said, “That storm will split before it reaches ground” It turned north and south, and left us standing there I can’t explain the weather, but I know the faith I bear [Pre-Chorus] I don’t claim to command it I just trust what I know When fear says run for cover Faith says watch it go [Chorus] I believe, I believe, when the mountain says stay Faith can move the stone and make a brand-new way If I speak to that mountain, it has got to hear What looks impossible to you is already shifting here I believe, I believe, let the whole world see The door may look locked, but it won’t stay closed on me [Bridge] Too ugly? No, I’m wonderfully made Too old? No, I’ve got wisdom earned and paid Too fat? No, this body carried me through fire Too short? No, I’m standing on a promise higher You can measure my body, but you cannot measure grace You can count all my failures, but faith still knows my name [Final Chorus] I believe, I believe, when the mountain says stay Faith can move the stone and make a brand-new way If I speak to that mountain, it has got to hear What looks impossible to you is already shifting here I believe, I believe, with my heart held free With faith in the Father, there’s nothing too high for me [Outro] Nothing too high for me Nothing too hard to see With faith in my heart The impossible is possible to me
