MOUNTAINS Lyrics By Stray Kids

[Intro: I.N]
Woah
Woah
Woah
Woah

[Refrain: Felix, Seungmin]
Head above the clouds, stand tall for the hell of it (Woah)
Tower overcrowds, don't pause 'cause I'm lovin' it (Woah)
Heavy and I'm proud, backbone never suffering (Woah)

[Verse 1: Changbin, Hyunjin]
더 높이 길게 뻗어 가는 mountains
끄떡없지 거친 바람의 pounding
정상 위에 올라 더 크게 shouting
내가 뱉은 말은 지켜 치켜세울 필요 없지
흘린 땀은 결국 돌려받지 메아리 (메아리)
꿋꿋이 버텨 내 굳건해진 내 자리 (내 자리)
강산풍월주인 누군가에게는 fantasy
Fantasy, fantastic, 사계절의 때깔이

[Pre-Chorus: Seungmin, Lee Know]
기세등등 꺾이지 않는 내 pride now
I rule this place, nobody can handle me, hands off
높아지는 average 걸음은 stomp, stomp
자세는 낮고 힘차게, I'ma go up

[Chorus: Changbin, Hyunjin, Bang Chan, Lee Know]
Mountains, mountains, I woke up on the mountains
Ain't nobody stopping me, I'm walking like a Titan
Mountains, mountains, I step up on the mountains
Ayo (Ayo)
I dominate the ground, the echoing surrounds
Just feel the air vibrating, oh, so loud (So loud)
Mountains, mountains, I step up on the mountains
Ayo (Ayo)

[Verse 2: Hyunjin, Han, Changbin]
힐끗힐끗 훔쳐보던 자리에 앉아 빗금
긋고 새로 쓰는 bucket list, no matter 다시금
의지 불태워, 투지 굳세어
내 바람이 이끄는 대로 I follow, 저 깃발을 채고 눈 하나 깜빡 안 해, I'm keeping it real (Oh)
Call me a changer, I'll replace this game zone
우리가 곧 우리의 꿈, call us Pantheon
저 산꼭대기 위로 하늘 뚫을 기세로
그동안의 악몽과는 전부 다 반대로
이 모든 시련 biscuit, 운명을 틀어 다 twist it
위기를 기회로 fill it up, 산중호걸 기립
내 피리에 따라 break it, 이 길에 수많은 미끼
다 뛰어넘어 가고 직진, I tear it up 전부 비키지 (Swish)

[Pre-Chorus: Seungmin, I.N]
기세등등 꺾이지 않는 내 pride now
I rule this place, nobody can handle me, hands off
높아지는 average 걸음은 stomp, stomp
자세는 낮고 힘차게, I'ma go up

[Chorus: Lee Know, Bang Chan, Seungmin, I.N]
Mountains, mountains, I woke up on the mountains
Ain't nobody stopping me, I'm walking like a Titan
Mountains, mountains, I step up on the mountains
Ayo (Ayo)
I dominate the ground, the echoing surrounds
Just feel the air vibrating, oh, so loud (So loud)
Mountains, mountains, I step up on the mountains
Ayo (Ayo)

[Refrain: Felix, I.N, Bang Chan]
Head above the clouds, stand tall for the hell of it (Woah)
Tower overcrowds, don't pause 'cause I'm lovin' it (Woah)
Heavy and I'm proud, backbone never suffering (Woah)
Ayo (Ayo)
Head above the clouds, stand tall for the hell of it (Woah)
Tower overcrowds, don't pause 'cause I'm lovin' it (Woah)
Heavy and I'm proud, backbone never suffering (Woah)
Ayo (Ayo)

[Outro: I.N, Seungmin, Lee Know]
If you're feelin' high, all hands go up (Woah)
This is cloud nine, we're at the top (Woah)
If you're feelin' high, all hands go up (Woah)
Ayo (Ayo)
If you're feelin' high, all hands go up (Woah)
This is cloud nine, we're at the top (Woah)
If you're feelin' high, all hands go up (Woah)
