We follow the leads   But the clues offer nothin' of any   So you work and you sleep and you wake   And then you've got to wait there   For an avalanche to cover you      But you know you gotta scream   To shake the ice on the side   Of the mountain free      So scream your lungs raw   Till you can't do it anymore   Then work and sleep and wake   And then you've got to wait there   For an avalanche to cover you      But you know you gotta scream   To shake the ice on the side   Of the mountain free      Have you ever thought of children?   Is the world here a heaven?   Are the secrets in the walls here   That I never had been given?      I spend half of my lifetime   Just trying to work for Jesus   I only wish my folks had told it   And he didn't really need us, no      But you know you gotta scream   To shake the ice on the side   Of the mountain free
