Testo di Like a Mountain

Driving near Mount Shavano It seemed to be looking me over Feeling that gaze down below I pulled the car off on the shoulder Staring at the rock and the sky My heart began beating more slowly Till I lost track of time And forgot where it was I was going Suddenly, I saw life from the brink I watched an age pass me by like a wink For just one heartbeat, I believe I could think Like a mountain Mountain, we measure our lives By tens and by twenty years only Teach us the ways of a million-year mind What a million-year heart could be hoping Suddenly, I saw life from the brink I watched an age pass me by like a wink For just one heartbeat, I believe I could think Like a mountain And oh, if I'm wise I will strive and I'll pray To turn that one tick in time into a day And lead this poor picture-flash life in that way Like a mountain
