Up to the Mountain
I went up to the mountain
Because you asked me to
Up over the clouds
Where the sky was blue
See all around me
Every, everywhere
I could see all around me
Every, everywhere
Sometimes, I feel like
I've never been nothin' but tired
And I'll be workin', workin'
'Til the day I expire
Sometimes, I lay down
No more can I do
Then I go on, on again
Because you ask me to
Some days, I look down
And I'm afraid I will fall
And though the sun shines
I see nothin' at all
Then I hear your sweet voice
Oh, come and then go
Just tellin' me softly
You love me so
The peaceful valley
Just over the mountain
The peaceful valley
Few come to know
I may never get there
Ever in this lifetime
Sooner or later
It's there I will go
Sooner or later
It's there I will go
