Up Here In The Mountains Lyrics

Up here in the mountains I can hear things

Like the whole of my life ringin' in my ears

Up here in the mountains I can see things

Like the movement of glaciers over thousands of years

But down in the valley

In all the hustle and bustle and fray

I spent my nights dreaming about how I can get away

Even for just one day

I wanna slow my life down

And I wanna know that I'm really livin'

I wanna feel more deeply and more completely

And find the gift in me that's waiting to be given away

Up here in the mountains I can hold things

Like a handful of water drawn from deep in the earth

Up here in the mountains I can remember things

Like the goodness I've carried from the day of my birth

But down in the valley

In all the noise and neon lights

I spend my days hoping that my dreams will take flight

Maybe they will tonight

I wanna slow my life down

And I wanna know that I'm really livin'

I wanna feel more deeply and more completely

And find the gift in me that's waiting to be given away

I wanna slow my life down

And I wanna know that I'm really livin'

I wanna feel more deeply and more completely

And find the gift in me that's waiting to be given away

I wanna find the gift in me that's waiting

To be given with my whole heart away
