Karaoké Up to the Mountain (MLK Song) Patty Griffin

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've never been nothin' but tired

And I'll be workin' till the day I expire

Sometimes I lay down no more can I do

But then I go on again because you ask me to

Somedays I look down afraid I will fall

And though the sun shines

I see nothing at all

Then I hear your sweet voice

Oh, oh, oh 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, ooh

But sooner or later it's there I will go
