Here on the Mountain

I've written my first "real" song on the banjo. Here are the lyrics...

A million hands are clasped

Along the mountainside

To withstand the echoing blast

And bellows from the sky

Trembling, aching, slow

One hand lets go

Pressed against my heart

A hand that quakes and starts

Chorus:

Here on the mountain

The spring flows

The clouds roll

Here on the mountain

I’ve left my heart

Here on the mountain

the lake’s clear

the heat sears

Here on the mountain

I’ll find my heart

I follow her up the crest

The million watch our steps

That carry us to the lake

She plunges to its depths

I wade out behind

And sink into the pool

The hand that held my heart

Finds me trembling too

Repeat Chorus

The clouds clear from the sky

Sun pours into the lake

Into the little one and I

Urging us to wake

Repeat Chorus

Here on the mountain

I’ll find her

and hold her

Here on the mountain

My little one

Here on the mountain

Lake water clear

Sun’s heat sears

Here on the mountain

I’ve found my heart
