The Moving Mountain

I’ve been standing on the moving mountain

Trying to look out to the sea

Watching these clouds all swell up and remain

Watching them gather round me

I’ve been standing on the moving mountain

Gazing out at the miracle shore

So far in the distance, but this mountain keeps moving

Along with all that I’ve ever fought for

            One day I’ll go down in the valley

            I’ll find people who pray just like me

            But I’m here all alone at the top of the mountain

            There is no other place I can be

I’ve been standing on the moving mountain

Watching kingdoms and governments fall

Waiting for someone to sweep me from sadness

While keeping an eye on it all

            One day I’ll go down in the valley

            I’ll find people who pray just like me

            But I’m here all alone at the top of the mountain

            There is no other place I can be
