MOUNTAIN VILLAGE Lyrics

A cancer's cloud stalks city streets

Around me cold world is what I see

More addicted to the bottle and the screen

But it don't cure the grief and the violence of my dreams

The silence screams, sign a cross to heaven

Wonder if he hears me, well, I left a message

They tell me that you love me, that the soul is very precious

So why do I feel, that you made us, then you left us?

Crack, I hear the thunder rolling overhead

Cold stare, wind howls, kneeling down, by my bed

Nightmares and silence are my daily bread

Fighting the demons and darkness every night in my head

I'm sleep walking, I'm sleep talking, I'm out of place

I keep stalking, I keep crawling, I'm out of faith

I wish people would stop saying that it'll be OK,

If you've got nothing just stop talking and give it straight

(Polish)

I pack my bags, kiss my mom, and I'm out the door

Quit my job, one-way flight, why pretend anymore?

It's my life, I don't care who's keeping score

There's more than meets the eye when they say "blessed are the poor"?

Got twenty in my pocket and I've gone deep south

Met a man, seen famine, seen war he lost count

He said "son, open your eyes, don't open your mouth

Sometimes you only learn when you go without"

(Uh) I pack my bags and I journey east

Wander through the streets, talk to people that I meet

This family don't have much but we share a meal and tea

I don't speak their language but real love comes free!

Dawn breaks and we all climb the mountains through

As I climb, tears flow when I think of you

The kids shed a tear, they've been through it too

They don't speak a word so they hold my hand, maybe that's the truth

(Polish)
