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
