I Have Been to the Mountain
[Verse 1]
Calling out
Demanding answers
Pleading skies
Cry for hours
Dropping peace bombs
Collecting prayers
A sky that mirrors
A sky that stares
[Chorus]
As I sing
I have been to the mountain
And I have walked on his shore
I've seen
But I can't see him no more
[Verse 2]
Round 'em out
Make an echo
Destroy the destroyer
And do it fast
That man lived in this town
'Til that pig took him down
And have you heard the sound
Of a man stop breathing, pleading?
[Interlude]
Ah-ah-ah
Ah-ah-ah
Ah-ah-ah
Ah-ah-ah
[Instrumental Break]
[Chorus]
I have been to the valley
I've sung all her songs
Watch me sing
Watch me sing along
[Outro]
And I say
I have been to the mountain
And I have walked on his shore
I've seen
But I can't see him no more
