Patty Griffin - Up To The Mountains (MLK Song) lyrics

I went up to the mountain Because you asked me to Up over the clouds To where the sky was blue I could see all around me Everywhere I could see all around me Everywhere Sometimes I feel like I never been nothing but tired And I'll be working 'Til the day I expire Sometimes I lay down No more can I do But then I go on again Because you asked me to Some days I look down Afraid I will fall And though the sun shines I see nothing at all Then I hear your sweet voice Come and then go Come and then go Telling me softly You love me so The peaceful valley Just over the mountain The peaceful valley Few come to know I may never get there Ever in this lifetime But sooner or later It's there I will go Sooner or later It's there I will go
