Story Behind The Song
This song followed a relationship that wasn't working out. It was hard to get through, as most break ups are, but I saw the positives and hope in starting a new life without that person. I was inspired while spending some time with nature.
Song Description
Losing a loved one, through a break up or other loss is being compared to changes in the weather and forces of nature. Even though losing someonea is challenging, like a storm, there is hope for the future and serenity. Both people can move forward and start new lives now that they are "mountains apart" from each other.

Lyrics
Today is the first day of the rest of my life without you
Suddenly the sun was taken from my blue sky
The river rose high and wide with the change in the weather
The bridge couldn't hold up without a solid design
A distant cry echoes through the canyon
And it's the lingering sound of my own voice
Loneliness has become my latest companion
But if you were here you'd be my first choice
'Cause I believe that angels are watching over you and me
And through the storms God speaks straight to the heart
A road that comes to an end
Is truly a blessing
Another path could be the right start
Today we start new lives together now that we're
Mountains Apart
Tonight is the first night of the rest of my nights without you
There's not a star in the sky to grant a wish for lost love
Without your touch I feel so cold and so empty
The wind that took you away put out the fire in my heart
Wandering through the valley of abandoned dreams
Edging my way across the cliffs of despair
I knew the journey wouldn't always be easy
But at the end the ocean hope will be there
Cause I believe that angels are watching over you and me
And through the storms God speaks straight to the heart
A road that comes to an end
Is truly a blessing
Another path could be the right start
Today we start new lives together now that we're
Mountains Apart
I believe that angels are watching over you and me
And through the storms God speaks straight to the heart
A road that comes to an end
Is truly a blessing
Another path could be the right start
Today we start new lives together now that
Today we start new lives together now that
Today we start new lives together we're
Mountains Apart
