lyrics

This child, these children will not go away
At least that's the hope as I end my days
With their gaze as I fade
Drift into haze and contemplate

The mountain...

For this is no hole that we have dug
No trap we have set and wait to be sprung
Our lives are in no way undone
Now we are made, reborn, we live as one

The mountain...

King of the castle, Queen of the land
These towers we've built are made of dirt and of sand
The girl turned woman, boy became man
The sea turned to land and then we saw

The mountain...

This child, these children will not go away
Yeah that's the hope to the end of my days
