Old Man of the Mountain
Soldier of the cause
He sees the world through clear blue eyes
He knows all of our flaws
Old man can you tell me
What it is that we should do

We think we know the answers
It's the questions that I kind of doubt
When the leaders begin to whisper
It's time to get out and Shout

WHAT'S IT ALL ABOUT ?

Old man what's the reason
That the seasons they turn so fast
And why is everybody walking backwards
With their eyes downcast...
... Are we near to the blast

Old man has the mountain
Got a little room to spare
Cuz if it does... It won't be long Till I'll be with you there

Cause

We're going nowhere...
... living down here

Up on the mountain the water runs so clear
And the sun brightens the Clear Blue Air
Never coming down - never coming down - off this mountain
You'll have to join us up here

Old man's full of stories
All  about the glories...
. ... Of yesterday
But when he's asked
What to do about tomorrow
He simply refuses to say

The only answer that he gives
Is reflected in the way he lives
Can't you see it his way?
