In national elections   In songs raised on high   With stirring emotions   As tears fill our eyes.       In democratic fever   For national defense   I am a mountain   I am a mountain   I am a mountain   Like birds upon a fence   Like birds upon a fence       Young artists and writers   Please heed the call   What's good for business   Is good for us all       For as it is in Nature   So it is in life:   The weak among us perish   The weak among us perish   The weak among us perish    The strong alone survive   The strong alone survive       Voices like thunder   Decisions like steel   The past and the future   They belong to us all       From every mountain   The water and the land   The world that we've created   The world that we've created   The world that we've created   By working hand in hand   By working hand in hand
