Cold Mountain movie - Great High Mountain lyrics

rate me

Song by Jack White<br /><br>

Once I stood at the foot of a great high mountain<br>

That I wanted so much to climb<br>

And on top of this mountain was a beautiful fountain<br>

That flows with the water of life<br>

<br>

I fell down on my knees at the foot of this mountain<br>

I cried, "O Lord what must I do?<br>

I want to climb this mountain, I want to drink from this fountain<br>

That flows so clear in my view"<br>

<br>

Then I heard a sweet voice from the top of this mountain<br>

Saying, "Child put your hand in mine"<br>

I started climbing slowly, "Watch your steps at the edges<br>

And take one step at a time"<br>

<br>

I started climbing upward taking one step at a time<br>

The higher I got the harder I climbed<br>

<br>

I'm still climbing upward and my journey's almost ended<br>

I'm nearing the top and you ought to see the view<br>

Oh the water flows freely, there's enough to make you free<br>

So friend if you're thirsty climb this mountain with me<br>

<br>
