I guess I need to listen to more country music/lyrics! I'm missing a whole genre of material! Have you ever heard "Walk" by the Foo Fighters? I actually prefer the acoustic version that came out later, but that song lifted me out of many a trying time in life. There is one phrase about building paper mountains and watching them burn. The paper mountain - one that is not strong enough to climb. We (as humans) often build "unattainable" or "unrealistic" mountains creating sadness, anger, and negativity when we can't overcome them. It gets me every time. :)

Always add more country music to your listening!
I'm not familiar with "Walk," but I love what you pointed out. It's great when song lyrics can resonate with us!
Yes! That's pretty much how I get through life. You should give it a listen - even if its not country. Do the acoustic version!
