The Mountain Song

from Harmonize by Funk N Spuds

/

about

We climbed Mt. Elbert at 3am to try and catch the sunrise at the top. Half way up the summit we got caught in a snowstorm and deciding to retreat. This song is about being just below the summit and looking back up at the peak to see it singing in the sunrise sunshine and knowing everything is alright.

Written by Max Meier fall 2018

lyrics

As I looked offside the mountain
To an audience of trees
Weren’t you telling me you loved them
Through a pulled lavender screen
But in no time it’s history
Can I ask you to believe
That my words will still mean something when I’m
Living in a dream

And if you know the way to go
Let me take your hand
There’s no need to show
The flow will help you grow and
You’ll understand

Like the puddles of the mountain
And the air between the trees
There’s a beauty in the darkness
There’s a love that’s in between
But this river’s still a mystery
And this time makes me believe
That I’m still missing something
My soul’s waiting to be free

And if you know the way to go
Let me take your hand
There’s no need to show
The flow will help you grow and
You’ll understand

As I look back towards the mountain
From the valley in between
My mind was on the moon time
And my heart was at the peak
Sometimes if you listen
The echo still resounds
An avalanche won’t halt my tracks
I know I’m not alone

And if you know the way to go
Let me take your hand
There’s no need to show
The flow will help you grow and
You’ll understand
