I climbed the mountain
I saw the other side
And I can rest now
For I am satisfied
I saw a rich land
Where each man had his share
I saw a free land
With freedom everywhere
And there was peace in the valley
There was hope in the land
There was joy in the children
There was love, beautiful love, in the heart of man
I saw a schoolhouse
Where every child could come
I saw a table
That welcomed everyone
I saw a city
That had no slum to hide
I saw a prison
That had no one inside
And there was peace in the valley
There was hope in the land
There was joy in the children
There was love, beautiful love, in the heart of man
I saw the lion
Lie down beside the lamb
I saw the white dove
Asleep upon the sand
And I saw Caesar
Give up his mighty throne
And I saw Johnny
As he came marching home
Well, there was peace in the valley
There was hope in the land
There was joy in the children
There was love, beautiful love, in the heart of man
Yes, there was peace in the valley
There was hope in the land
There was joy in the children
There was love, beautiful love, in the heart of man
