i got stranded on this mountainside 
was tossed about in a landslide 
that's how i lost my way down 
so i hung from cliffs i hung from trees 
fell in ravines and skin my knees 
but the trail was nowhere to be found 
there are no coincidences here 
best to rest till morning nears 
when rescuers can hear my call 
throw me a rope throw me a line 
lower me down the mountainside 
slowly don't let me fall 
shall we dance the dance of fear 
speak words babe 
words unclear 
see who will react to 
simple truths misunderstood 
simple intentions are from good 
there is no turning back 
gifts are given from above 
some with scorn some with love 
some are wrapped in misery 
coincidences this i know 
best to rest through the night 
so when morning mist clears that i'll see 
the beauty in all living things 
the power of spirit in everything 
the mountainside is where i climb 
to get a better view 
i'd be lying to say 
i learned nothing from you 
so i'm stranded on this mountain side 
tripped over stones of jagged pride 
i can't find my way down 
so i climb higher in the atmosphere 
where the air is thin my thoughts are clear 
but i can look around 
there are no coincidences here 
best to rest till morning years 
when rescuers can hear my call 
throw me a rope throw me a line 
lure me down the mountainside 
i hope that they let 
me fall into the beauty of all living things 
the power of spirit in heaven everything 
the mountainside is where i'm climb to 
get a better view 
i'd be lying to say i learned nothing from you 
stranded on this mountainside 
gifts are given from above 
some with scorn some with love 
some are wrapped in misery 
coincidence is this i know best to rest in the shade 
so when evening comes then i'll see 
the beauty in all living things 
the power of spirit in everything 
the mountainside is where i climb to get a better view 
i'd be lying to say i haven't learned anything from 
the beauty of all living things 
the power of spirit everything 
a mountainside is where i climb to get a better view 
you must know i've learned so many things from you 
i got stranded on this mountainside 
was tossed about in a landslide 
that's when i lost my way down
