I went up to the mountain because you asked me to
Up over the clouds to where the sky was blue
I could see all around me everywhere
I could see all around me everywhere
Sometimes I feel like I've never been nothing but tired
And I'll be walking till the day I expire
Sometimes I lay down, no more can I do
But then I go on again because you ask me to
Some days I look down afraid I will fall
And though the sun shines I see nothing at all
Then I hear your sweet voice coming in, oh
Telling me softly, softly you love me so
The peaceful valley just over the mountain
The peaceful valley few come to know
I may never get there ever in this lifetime
But sooner or later, it's there I will go
Sooner or later, it's there I will go
