Dinesh Moylan

Always belonged to the mountain
even though city born and bred
deep in my bones there was the mountain
deep in my mind a voice that said

Climb up on the mountain
feel the wind in the trees
listen to the sounds of silence
remember how it feels to be free

Soon as I could I left the city
went away as far as I could go
learned to be alone in the wilderness
to unlock the chains around my soul

Whenever I'm overloaded
when my cup overflows
when my soul weighs me down full and heavy
and I need somewhere to go

I climb up on the mountain
feel the wind in the trees
listen to the sounds of silence
remember how it feels to be free

Sit down on the mountain
put yourself in its embrace
listen to the sounds of silence
there is no more holy place

Than up on the mountain
feel the wind in the trees
listen to the sounds of silence
remember how it feels to be free

high on the mountain
up high on the mountain
