the mountain calls out to me
a faint insistent cry
drawing me right to it
no reason to deny

i come upon the mountain
there’s nothing that i need
the sound of distant trumpets
nearly brings me to my knees

as i take a step forward
with nothing on my mind
the echo is returning
i realize i’m just fine

whoa oh whoa the mountain 
altitude a useful function
whoa oh whoa the mountain
there’s some time left but man who’s counting 

the sun is on the ridgeline
the wind in every tree
my life appears before me
and finally i’m free

see the old man in the mountain 
in the wide and open sky
in stark and broken contrast
to the chaos in my mind

as i take a step forward
with nothing on my mind
the echo is returning
i realize i’m just fine

whoa oh whoa the mountain 
altitude a useful function
whoa oh whoa the mountain
there’s some time left but man who’s counting 

the mountain calls out to me
the signal’s deep and slow
summons me right to it
no reason not to go

when i ascend the summit
as far as eyes can see
the message built into it
reveals itself to me
reveals itself to me

whoa oh whoa the mountain 
altitude a useful function
whoa oh whoa the mountain
there’s no time left but man who’s counting
