Prince and the Revolution
Mountains
[Verse 1]
Once upon a time in a land called Fantasy
Seventeen mountains stood so high
The sea surrounded them and, together, they would be
The only thing that ever made you cry
You said the devil told you that another mountain would appear
Every time somebody broke your heart
He said the sea would, one day, overflow with all your tears
And love will always leave you lonely
[Chorus]
But I say it's only mountains and the sea
Love will conquer if you just believe, oh, yeah
It's only mountains and the sea
There's nothing greater, uh-huh, than you and me
[Verse 2]
Once upon a time in a haystack of despair
Happiness, sometimes, hard to find (Yeah)
Africa divided, hijack in the air
It's enough to make you wanna lose your mind
[Chorus]
And I say it's only mountains and the sea
Love will conquer if you just believe, oh, yeah
It's only mountains and the sea
There's nothing greater, uh-huh, than you and me
Guitars and drums on the one, huh, woo
Woo
Bobby on the drum-ah
It's only mountains
Oh, yeah
And the sea (And the girls say)
There's nothing greater, oh, no, than you and me
Oh
[Outro]
