Chris Stills - If I Were A Mountain lyrics

If I was a mountain Or a flower on a tree Would I be running From the future that I see Would I be cryin' baby From the horror that lay before me You've got to keep on runnin' You've got to keep on lovin' You've got to sing the blues I look in the mirror And I wonder who I see I see a person who tries to be all he can be And for this person there is no tomorrow And this person is singing the blues Deep in my heart down in my soul I can feel the pain as it slowly grows But I can shine the light I can blow away the pain and the evil face I will never see again You've got to keep on fighting You've got to live like the lightning You've got to sing the blues And I remember the future Through my childhood eyes The people were smiling And banished from all tempting lies And I catch myself wishin' that I was A child again So come on honey Help me make them understand You've got to sing the blues Gonna have some good times Gonna have some bad times You've got to keep on singin' the blues You've got to recognize the truth from the lies You've got to keep on singin' the blues You've got to compromise the d**h from the lives You've got to keep on singin' the blues You've got to realize you've got to be open Your eyes you've got to keep on singin' the blues
