Ronnie Kimball The Mountain Lyrics

"The Mountain"

It stands there in the distance reaching up into the sky
Like a monument to eternity just watching time go by
Men will come and men will go and time will surely pass
But the mountain is forever holding secrets close and fast

In another time in history was this mountain once a shrine
Did men come here to worship are their secrets left behind
We'll never know the story for that's not meant to be
Men can only question what's the mountain's mystery

It stands there in the distance reaching up into the sky
Like a monument to eternity just watching time go by
Men will come and men will go and time will surely pass But the mountain is forever holding secrets close and fast

(Bridge)
Today we'll search the mountain spread out twenty men across
Looking for that helpless soul who's out there somewhere lost
A mystery old and timeless we can never understand
Do voices call from the mountain, what draws these lost souls in
To the mountain

(Repeat Chorus)
(Tag)
Yes the mountain is forever and she holds her secrets fast
