Like a Mountian Songtext
von Peter Mayer

Driving near Mount Charbonneau
It seemed to be looking me over
Feeling that gaze down below
I pulled the car up on the shoulder
Staring at the rock and the sky
My heart began to tick more slowly
Till I lost track of time
And forgot where it was I was going

Suddenly I saw life in the break
I watched an age pass me by like a wink
With just one heartbeat I believed 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

Suddenly I saw life in the break
I watched an age pass me by like a wink
With just one heartbeat I believed I could think
Like a mountain

And Lord if I′m wise I will strive and I'll pray
To turn that one tick in time into a day
And leave this poor picture flash of life in my way

Like a mountain
Like a mountain
