I will Go

I went up to the mountain.
Because you asked me to.
Up over the clouds.
To where the sky was blue.
I could see all around me.
Everywhere.
I could see all around me.
Everywhere

Sometimes I feel like
I’ve never been nothing but tired.
And I’ll be walking.
Till the day I expire.
Sometimes I lay down.
No more can I do.
But then I go on again.
Because you ask me to

Some days I look down
Afraid I will fall.
And though the sun shines.
I see nothing at all.
Then I hear your sweet voice, oh
Oh, come and then go, come and then go.
Telling 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.
But sooner or later.
It’s there I will go.
Sooner or later.
It’s there I will go.
