The Fool on the Mountain

The Fool on the Mountain

The Fool on the Mountain
Used to live up on the hill
Some say there's a part of him
Living up there still
The sun goes down
The World spins round
Another day goes by
Climbing up to Higher Ground
Imagines he can fly

The people in the village don't come up here anymore
No one here to knock knock knock on this fool's bedroom door
High above the valley
There's a Rocky Mountain High
Every fool must come to know
Before it's time to die

Shadow of the sea bird
Like Jesus in the sky
Soaring in on Wings of Fire
A long, soft lullaby
We’ll be here forever
And never knowing why until the light comes on again somewhere near the end

The fool looks up at you right now
Up the mountain you have come
Come to stand as witness
To the rising of the Sun
In a world that seems to be a dream
And one that's come undone
With a smile a fool invites you
To set down what you've done
     And come home to The          One (CHORALE; REPEAT)

Now he sits beside you for a moment anyway
You know he lives inside you to guide you on your way
He takes your hand and looks at you
Clearest eyes of ocean blue
You understand what you must do
Cuz the Fool on the mountain is you
The Fool on the mountain is you
        (REPEAT, CHORALE MIX       CHO
