If I Were a Mountain LyricsIf I was a mountain
Or a flower on a tree
Would I be running
From the future that I see
Would I be cryin' baby
From the horror that lay before me
You've got to keep on runnin'
You've got to keep on lovin'
You've got to sing the blues
I look in the mirror
And I wonder who I see
I see a person who tries to be all he can be
And for this person there is no tomorrow
And this person is singing the blues
Deep in my heart down in my soul
I can feel the pain as it slowly grows
But I can shine the light
I can blow away the pain and the evil face
I will never see again
You've got to keep on fighting
You've got to live like the lightning
You've got to sing the blues
And I remember the future
Through my childhood eyes
The people were smiling
And banished from all tempting lies
And I catch myself wishin' that I was
A child again
So come on honey
Help me make them understand
You've got to sing the blues
Gonna have some good times
Gonna have some bad times
You've got to keep on singin' the blues
You've got to recognize the truth from the lies
You've got to keep on singin' the blues
You've got to compromise the death from the lives
You've got to keep on singin' the blues
You've got to realize you've got to be open
Your eyes you've got to keep on singin' the blues
