Stand On The Mountain

from Red Wolf Mist by Aaron Smith

/

lyrics

The chickens are safe in the henhouse
Away from the wolves, out of the cold
Look at that dilapidated farmhouse
Imagine the secrets it must hold
The world doesn’t end at the mountain
A ray of hope keeps the beasts at bay
I made my way up the mountain
At the top of the world is where I’ll find a way

You can drink the water
You can breathe the air
Stand up on the mountain
Don’t give in to the fear

The sun is setting now
As the night begins to wake
You better bolt the door
For the children’s sake
Lock the windows too
Or it’s curtains for you
You’ve got to build a wall
So the dogs can’t break through

You can drink the water
You can breathe the air
Stand up on the mountain
Don’t give in to the fear

You can always take shelter in the cabin of dreams
Where the howling is drowned out by much better screams
The earth goes ‘round the sun like a carousel
The days are heaven and the nights are hell
Here at the top of the mountain
Legends lurk around every bend
This is the land we were given
This is the land we must defend

You can drink the water
You can breathe the air
Stand up on the mountain
Don’t give in to fear
