Up on the Mountain

The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

I think about those better days

I didn't know these evil ways

Love and hate and jealousy

Came and got the best of me

Late at night I lie in bed

And fight the fight inside my head

I think it's time to put it down

Get myself back on the ground

Oh, no

Oh, no

This ain't what I came here for

I'm goin' up on the mountain

Up on the hill

Lay down by the river

Let the water be still

I'll open my eyes

And see what I see

I got to find out what is you

And what is me

I used to know how to feel

Somethin' tells me this ain't real

On the phone ain't nothin' said

It's off the hook the line is dead

Things you want and things you need

I ain't got and ain't guaranteed

I'm breakin' loose it's building up

And I can't leave here soon enough

Oh, no

Oh, no

This ain't what I came here for

I'm goin' up on the mountain

Up on the hill

Lay down by the river

Let the water be still

I'll open my eyes

And see what I see

I got to find out what is you

And what is me

Oh, no (oh, no!)

Oh, no (oh, no!)

This ain't what I came here for

I'm goin' up on the mountain

Up on the hill

Lay down by the river

Let the water be still

I'll open my eyes

And see what I see

I got to find out what is you

And what is me
