Down From The Mountain (song #129)

Down From The Mountain

For so long

I’ve been climbing so high

Tryin’ to find a place

Where my hand can touch the sky

But the world keeps changing

It all looks so strange to me

I’m coming down from the mountain

(To) see what I can see

I’m coming down from the mountain

To where I’m meant to be

Looking out 

Across a barren plane

Hoping one more time

The sky might fill with rain

But the world keeps moving

It all looks so strange to me

I’m coming down from the mountain

(To) see what I can see

I’m coming down from the mountain

To where I’m meant to be

I can no longer pretend

That I know where this path might end

I can no longer defend

The idea that we have to end

I’m coming down from the mountain

(To) see what I can see

I’m coming down from the mountain

To where I’m meant to be

Deep inside of me 

Where I do not go

The only part that’s left of me

Is the one I never show

But the world keeps turning

It all looks so strange to me

 

I’m coming down from the mountain

(To) see what I can see

I’m coming down from the mountain

To where I’m meant to be

For so long

I’ve been climbing so high

Tryin’ to find a place

Where my hand can touch the sky
