Lord, we don't need another mountain
There are mountains and hillsides enough to climb
There are oceans and rivers enough to cross

Enough to last till the end of time

There are cornfields and wheat fields enough to grow
There are sunbeams and moonbeams enough to shine
Oh listen, Lord, if you want to know
