Up on the Mountain

When I’m lost, when I forget my name When the sky is clouded but it gives no rain When I’m thirsty, but the spring is dry I climb up where the forest sweeps the sky... Up on the mountain Up on the mountain Up on the mountain... I can see forever Day to day, well, I look around All I see is mostly on the ground In the valley it’s hard to see Beyond the clutter surrounding me But up on the mountain Up on the mountain Up on the mountain... I can see forever Life is small, so am I We’re born, we eat, we laugh, we cry Sometimes it’s hard to see just why Everybody has a time to die But up top on the mountainside Where that horizon meets the eye I’m like a bird who has yet to fly There’s so much we never realize ‘Til we’re on the mountain Up on the mountain Up on the mountain... Where I can see forever I can see forever (instrumental) When you meet eternity It’s gonna bring you to your knees The lame shall walk and the blind will see Oh, when you meet eternity When you meet eternity It’s gonna bring you to your knees The lame shall walk and the blind will see Oh, when you meet eternity Up on the mountain Up on the mountain Up on the mountain... I can see forever.
