Verse 1 (Nicholas)
Well my family has been here
About two hundred years
When they left a land that wasn’t so forgiven
They were sure to find
In these hills as old as time
The beauty in this mountain way of living

Verse 2 (Nicholas)
Where we reap the riches of this life
When we treat each other right
Drink the sacred water flowing from the fountain
When I’ve given life my best
Through the ages I will rest
In that sacred slumber in this peaceful mountain

Chorus:
Peace mountain
In the land of Canaan
On peace mountain
Where I go when the work is done
On peace mountain
Where I’ll die a shiners son
On peace mountain
In the land of Canaan
Verse 3: (Charles)
Many wonder through this life
In a lonesome world of strife
Have no place where they can find true comfort
With no roots upon their land
Seeking fortunes made by man
A never ending storm of rolling thunder

Verse 4: (Nicholas)
Well daddy made moonshine
He kept the people feeling fine
Hit it once or twice and you’d be shouting
Always treat each other right
And find fulfillment in this life
Drink the peaceful waters from the mountain

Chorus:
Peace mountain
In the land of Canaan
On peace mountain
Where I go when the work is done
On peace mountain
Where I’ll die a shiners son
On peace mountain
In the land of Canaan
