Down From the Mountain

Livin' on this level ground Like a flatline heartbeat all around The air is thick like black clay mud And rainclouds cover up the sun Way up high, it's like a dream Where the snow it falls and the sun it beams The craggy rock and rocky spires Seem to light my heart on fire I don't wanna come down When I'm higher than the world below I don't wanna come down The Rocky mountains ease my soul Winds'll howl and trees'll fall The fire burned like the flames of hell But fire brings life to the land From life to dust and dust to sand Well, the mountain treats us all the same No matter race, creed or name All equal underneath the sky To let us live or watch us die I don't wanna come down When I'm higher than the world below I don't wanna come down The Rocky mountains ease my soul Precious life, it's precious land No respect and all demands Afraid to walk above the clouds Too afraid to speak out loud Well the shadows cast across the plains As the it sun sets in a small refrain While we scavenge, fight and kill The mountain stands and always will I don't wanna come down When I'm higher than the world below I don't wanna come down The Rocky mountains ease my soul I don't wanna come down When I'm higher than the world below I don't wanna come down The Rocky mountains ease my soul
