| I’ve been standing on this mountain
|
| Thinking hard on jumping down
|
| It took so long to climb this mountain
|
| Still thinking hard on jumping down
|
| There ain’t nothing but my faith and the thin air
|
| Between me and that hard ground
|
| Have I been standing here for hours?
|
| It feels like standing days
|
| Have I been standing here four hours?
|
| Feels like standing on ten days
|
| Time stands still, it freezes when you don’t have words to say
|
| When you pray on Judgement day
|
| I have seen my mother weeping
|
| And I’ve wiped away her tears
|
| If you hear my mother crying
|
| Won’t you wipe away her tears
|
| If you hear from my dear father
|
| Tell him it’s a little worse off than he feared
|
| When that Judgement day comes calling
|
| You had best be on your knees
|
| When that Judgement day comes calling
|
| You had best be on your knees
|
| Begging to your Lord for a little forgiveness
|
| And sweet mercy please |
