God, He told Moses Take these words I've set in stone Move off of this hallowed land And lead my people home CHORUS: Walk down this mountain Leave your troubles on higher ground Walk 'til you reach the promised land Walk this mountain down Walk this mountain down Momma always told me Life's hard on this hillside If you want more than livin' poor You gotta leave this ridge behind CHORUS: Walk down this mountain
Leave your troubles on higher ground Walk 'til you reach the promised land Walk this mountain down Walk this mountain down Now when I'm havin' worries Pilin' heavy upon me I hear my momma sayin' child Just leave 'em at God's feet CHORUS: Walk down this mountain Leave your troubles on higher ground Walk 'til you reach the promised land Walk this mountain down Walk this mountain down
