lyrics

Climb the mountain free the people, show them how life can be simple, show them goodness from the start, watch them grow and watch them fly away. And all sincerity the love you give is equal to the love that you percieve time goes fast but a moment ahead of the past now

Lay lay me down, lay lay me to rest

Who'd a though that you could walk forever into to those hills and mountains the people fed the grief they shed it's all too much I stopped counting, all my necessary blessing stay tight lipped I'm confessing that I can not hold a candle to you but I will burn one for you.

Lay lay me down, lay lay me to rest

Point your compass to the light take flight take heart take heed it's common sense in the corner of your mind a perfect picture of you stands, what we have we hold we keep we worship at your muddy feet and to the light in to the furture from now till time we will keep you

Safe safe and warm, safe safe from harm

Who'd a though that you could walk forever into to those hills and mountains the people fed the grief they shed it's all too much I stopped counting, all my necessary blessing stay tight lipped I'm confessing that I can not hold a candle to you but I will burn one for you.

Lay lay me down, lay lay me to rest
Rest your head now.
