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
