I'm standing on the mountain
Looking out upon the land
Thinking above the truth and goodness
I'm standing on the mountain
Looking out upon the land
Thinking above the truth and goodness
That is giving on to me
I see love all over the flowers
I hear a song from the buzzing bee
And peace is all around me
But there's no peace for you and me
Lord, there ain't no trouble on the mountain no
And that's where I wanna go
But I just can't rest on the mountain top
When there's trouble down here below
You can taste the honey from the honey bee
You can sit in the shade of a shady tree
There is no gift in the heart of a man
That makes me fight to be free
Oh on the mountain is where I wanna go
And leave my trouble down here below
Lord, there ain't no trouble on the mountain no
And that's where i wanna go
But I just can't rest on the mountain top
When there's trouble down here below
You can taste the honey from the honey bee
You can sit in the shade of the shady tree
There is no gift in the heart of a man
To make me fight to be free
Oh, on the mountain is where I wanna go
And leave my trouble down here below
But I know that running will be up on me
So i'm gonna stay and take my stand
