Went to the mountain To see the river I saw the river Going to the sea I saw the river From on top the mountain I watched the river Flowin’ into the sea I saw the sun From on top the mountain Evaporate water From the lakes and sea I saw the sun From on top the mountain Drawing up moisture Into the sky I saw the clouds form From on top the mountain I watched the clouds Forming in the sky I saw the clouds From on top the mountain Growing larger And turning gray I watched the gray clouds From on top the mountain Burst open with rainfall All over the land I saw the land From on top the mountain Soaking up water From the rain I saw the springs from on top the mountain Trickling out water And forming streams I saw the streams From on top the mountain Joining together Into the river flow Went to the mountain To see the river I watched the river Flowin’ into the sea

Well I look back to see the view I look back to see me and you We were young And had to find our way But now we’re here And it’s turned out this way I once had a dream And it burned like a fire I once had a love All filled with desire Time has erased Everything that we thought was good And it’s all been replaced By things we’re told we should Livin’ fighting Frightened to trust In the way that Things were done Time will make Those dreams disappear But the change Is still not clear I see your face crying tears I feel your pain All through those years I call out your name And I hear you sigh I reached out for you But our love had died A silent parade Marches through my head For all my friends That are gone and dead All those regrets They still remain And now and again I can still feel the pain Livin’ fighting Frightened to trust In the way that Things were done Time will make Those dreams disappear But the change Is still not clear Livin’ lovin’ tryin’ To believe In the things That were never done Waiting for visions Of things to come But the change Is still not clear All those things That were done and tried They can’t be erased No matter how hard we try We have our dreams to face And still have hope for today Even though for our past We may have hell to pay So as I sit In my lonely room I know that I’ll join you I just don’t know how soon But for now I just live everyday Trying to let love Overcome the pain Livin’ fighting Frightened to trust In the way that Things were done Waiting for visions Of things to come But the change Is still not clear I look back to see the view I look back to see me and you We were young And had to find our way But now we’re here And it’s turned out this way But now we’re here And it’s turned out this way

Never had a diamond Never had an island Never felt a warm tough Soft and never too much Never had a treasure Filled with endless pleasure That I can call my own Never felt a teardrop Never felt my heart drop Never had a bad dream Runnin’ with a sad theme Never had a good thought That wasn’t filled with self-doubt Like when I’m all alone Never had a fountain Never had a mountain Never felt so carefree Living without vanity Never had a color scheme Never made up a bad scene Filled up with all that I know Never had a gold mine Never laughed at people crying Never felt good after lying Hard to live with people dying Dandelions in the grass Hope I don’t come in last While staring at time in a glass Never walked a mile Never saw that smile Never dreamed awhile Still living my own style Never talked that small talk Without feeling thoughts I can’t block Even when it brings me up or down Never had a diamond Never had an island Never felt a warm touch Soft and never too much Never had a treasure Filled with endless pleasure That I can call my own Never felt a teardrop Never felt my heart drop Never had a bad dream Runnin’ with a sad theme Never had a good thought That wasn’t filled with self-doubt Like when I’m all alone Like when I’m all alone Like when I’m all alone
