WHAT MOUNTAINS COULD FOLLOW THE HILLS

 

you pack your things the true nessecities

your legs are strong and honest, your companion for the miles

find your guide to follow, an artificial smile

that spawns from fear and the restlessness of ease

 

you bear the power to endure the obstacles of quest

the line that separates ego from confidence

you must cross the bridge to engage defense

what heights are tangible when your feet firmly rest?

 

there is everywhere your heart can fill

where you forget the ways you've grown to learn

and thoughts of the unknown shall burn

WHAT MOUNTAINS COULD FOLLOW THE HILLS

 

you caress the burden bestowed upon your hands

to control the anger of its natural affairs

the stinging truth will pierce you without care

this is yours to receive if its righteousness is grand

 

but only here can you make a choice to determine your plight

fair well, my friend, it will get nasty and confusing

find yourself in pride between what suffers and the musing

and know if you choose the wrong you can fight to make it right

 

there is everywhere your heart can fill

where you forget the ways you've grown to learn

and thoughts of the unknown shall burn

WHAT MOUNTAINS COULD FOLLOW THE HILLS

 

you are one of triumph, a hero with nothing to save

for you must find yourself  between hate and love

to complete your journey on the stuff you're made of

what comes next? who will fall? are you one to be brave?

 

what news of this life? through the pain and funny thrills

WHAT MOUNTAINS COULD FOLLOW THE HILLS
