Lyrics Lake Of Tears - Upon The Highest Mountain

Part I

I wish, I dream, a dream of mountains high
Where I can sit and look down hills, and say "This is I"
I wish, I dream, a dream of mountains high
Where I can stand and raise my hands, and touch the sky

A streak of light, opened in the darkness
"Little child, welcome to the outer realms
This is your kingdom, this is your destiny"
That little child, that little child was me

"My son, you must wander far
There is a place, seek it skywards
Up high, where the mountains break the clouds
There is your place, upon the highest mountain"

A wish to wander far, to find the mountains high
A dream to be a king, up high where heaven lies
"Hurry little child, run, king to be, run
Climb the highest peak, and reach for the sun..."

I wish, I dream, a dream of mountains high
Where I can sit and look down hills, and say
" This is I"

I wish, I dream, a dream of mountains high
Where I can stand and raise my hands, and touch the sky

A strek of light, brought into the darkness
A young man, wandered into outer realms
Oh, his destiny, that he was a king to be
That young man, that young man was me

"My son, you have wandered far
Now make your seal, make it up skywards
Up high, where mountains break the clouds
There is your place, upon the highest mountain"

Upon the highest mountain...
Upon the highest mountain...
Upon the highest mountain...

Part II: The Path of the Gods

I still dream of the mountains, where I used to be a king
King of all outer realms, how I wish to return ...

"Welcome back my son, I have waited for a long time
Waited for the king to return, I have something to show you
Upon the highest mountain, way up by the horizon
Lies an ancient path, the path of the gods ..."

I've climbed the mountains high
And walked among the clouds
I've reached the outer realms
Seen past the fields of wildgrown flowers

"Seek the opening of sanguine painted clouds
Carried gently upon caressing winds
There by the boundaries of seldom broken lines
Lies the way ..."

These sanguine clouds I saw
Appear at heaven's shore
Swept by the woken wind
Stray in the garden of tranquillity

"See through the many eyes of the dragonfly
Hear the flowers bloom in early spring
And see the lines of life untouched by time
Upon the way ..."

Faerie choirs sing
And gently flap their wings
And by this creek so small
Gathered slowly, drinking unicorns

"Stray pilgrim, god to be
Stray wanderer, 'all these realms' belong to thee"

Small creatures coming near
Then turn to disappear
All while the faeries sing
Ode to waters, ode to winds

"Stray pilgrim, god to be
Stray wanderer, 'all these realms' belong to thee"

The path of gods ...
