On the Mountain

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Let the wind wear away The words cut in the stone Let it clear what remains Let it scatter their bones [Refrain] Let there be you Walking a line on the plain Let it be you Getting up and beginning again [Verse 2] And may you contain All that you have replaced Without judgment or fear With no intention left to waste {Refrain} Just let it be you Through the strength and the pain of your joy Just let it be you Tracking the years down through your voice [Bridge] Deep and low Clear and true Let it be you [Verse 3] And your lover, she cried To see you there on the floor Spinning again, defeated Still abused and still a boy But I'm in awe and ashamed At the sound of your words and your voice Winding through you from someplace else Some place where you never had a single choice [Refrain] So let it be you That comes through this town with a sword Let it be you That levels the rich and lies down with the poor Let it be you That draws a clear line back through time Let it be you Who, when beaten, will always rise Let it be you Who will comfort us that need And it is just you That is remembered here and now by me [Outro] With love, goodbye If a man could never die Then let it be you
