[Verse 1] There once stood a man in my place For a while he could go toe to toe With any foe, with any foe But in the blink of an eye It had all became a lie And that was that end of my show [Pre-Chorus] What was once a towering mountain Now reduced to a hill in the snow I kept my crown made of worry And I watched it sink slow [Chorus] Hill in the snow Hill in the snow Life cuts deep, then lets you go Hill in the snow Hill in the snow I thought I was rising Now look at me below [Verse 2] They said be a man, stand strong Get a plan, save some money, buy up all the gold But I didn't heed all the wisdom I need to prosper all I saw was greed Money was never my ambition I just wanted to live and be free But reality came a crashing And pulled the rug from under my feet [Pre-Chorus] What was once a towering mountain Now reduced to a hill in the snow I kept my crown made of worry And I watched it sink slow [Chorus] Hill in the snow Hill in the snow Life cuts deep, then lets you go Hill in the snow Hill in the snow I thought I was rising Now look at me below [Bridge] No map can save the fool Who mistakes gold for home No hand can hold the sand Once the whole river's gone So I stand in the white With my name half-buried down Still breathing through the cold Still learning how [Final Chorus] Hill in the snow Hill in the snow Life cuts deep, then lets you go Hill in the snow Hill in the snow I lost what I was chasing But I found out who I was below
