Lyrics
I come down from the mountain to see what I would see
brother verses brother warring aimlessly
all the voices of anger, are so consuming,
I heard the fight a callin'
I heard my sisters cry
I heard the whisper of the sword
I'll fight until I die
rush into battle - no reason why.
I come down from the Mountain, been down on my knees
listened to the Lord, He set me free
down from the mountain, oh, troubled family
come back up the mountain with me.
Oh trouble, oh trouble, have your way with me
worry, oh worry, you'll never set me free
my heart's been imprisoned by human frailty.
I've been burned by the fire of uncertainty
I walk this lonesome valley, prayin' for peace
born into doubting - my only enemy.
I come down from the Mountain, been down on my knees
listened to the Lord, He set me free
down from the mountain, oh, troubled family
come back up the mountain with me.
