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?
