HIGH ON THE MOUNTAIN
©Gary Bowman

“Climb the mountains and get their good tidings. Nature's peace will flow into you as sunshine flows into trees. The winds will blow their own freshness into you, and the storms their energy, while cares will drop away from you like the leaves of Autumn.” ― John Muir, The Mountains of California

High on the Mountain,            
Have you heard the news? (‘Hey!’) 
Mountain air, And Nature’s Song
Will cure those Flatland Blues (‘Hey!’) 
 
There ain’t no smog or traffic,  
No politics or greed (‘Hey!’)
Hiking boots and a few good friends,
What else do you need? (‘Hey!’)
 
High on the Mountain,            
Have you heard the news? (‘Hey!’) 
Mountain air, And Nature’s Song
Will cure those Flatland Blues (‘Hey!’) 
           
Peaceful streams of sunshine
Flowing through the trees
Hiking boots and a few good friends,
What else do you need? (‘Hey!’)
 
Hiking boots and a few good friends,
What else do you need? (‘Hey!’)
 
Hiking boots and a few good friends,
What else do you need? (‘Hey!’)
