Song language: English
The Mountain |
| It was up some laughing river where I’d gone to spend the day |
| I had such fantastic visions I could hardly stand to stay |
| And I stood within myself and suddenly felt free |
| And I stood above the burdens that puzzle you and me |
| I became awareness that was shared with all around |
| With the trees, the sky, the flowers, and the wind, the sun, the ground |
| I heard the birds were singing and I found them same as me |
| And I understood our sorrows and why they should not be |
| I saw this plane of living, it was nothing more than faith |
| A skin that covered glory, far beyond our love or hate |
| A living crystal fairyland where loving is our grace |
| A pyromanic garden that knows no time nor space |
| I saw what we’ve been doing to it, saw it as insane |
| Still a marching like good Christians with our wars, the sword, the flame |
| To crush all those damned infidels, defend what should be shame |
| And again I shared our sorrows and knew we all must bear the blame |
| I see it all as part of us to know and share alike |
| With a universal willingness to know and do what’s right |
| To understand our brotherness and stop this awful race |
| Let our children grow in peace, know their life shall not be waste |
| First there is a mountain, then it seems the mountain’s gone |
| But then, if you take another look, why, it’s been there all along |
| We can be just like that river as it laughs along its way |
| Or stand beneath the shadows that take the sun away |
