Well this next song was actually inspired by Colorado.
And driving [Abm] around Colorado and thinking about these mountains
and sort of pondering how old the earth is,
how old these mountains are,
and if I were a mountain and I could somehow witness
the passing of time as a mountain might witness it,
I think it's challenging for us human beings
to be learning things like how old the earth is.
And when you hear numbers like 4.5. billion, 4.5. thousand million, even 1 million, it's just so impossible really to conceive of that kind of a [Gm] thing. And yet I think that's kind of our job these days is to try and understand the forces that brought us here and sort of the life, the nature of this planet. And so this song is sort of a little bit of an encounter with a mountain. Driving [G] [Gm]
[G] [D] [G]
near Mount Shavano It seemed to be looking me over Feeling that gaze down below [D] I pulled the car off on [G] the shore [C] [G] [D] [C]
[Gm]
Staring at the rock and the sky [D] My heart began beating more slowly [Gm] Till I lost [G] track of time Forgot where it was I was going [C] Ah [G]-ha Suddenly [C] [Eb] [G] I saw [Eb] life from the brain [F] I watched an age pass me by like [Eb] a wing For just [F] one heartbeat I believe [C] I could sing [G] [Gm] Like a mountain, mountain [G] We measure our lives by tens and by twenty years [D] only [Gm] Teach us the ways of a million year mind What a [D] million [G] year heart could be [C] holding Ah-ha [G] Ah-ha [C] Ah-ha Ah-ha [Eb] [F] Suddenly I saw life [Eb] from the brain I [F] watched an age pass me [Eb] by like a wing For [F] just one heartbeat I [C] believe I could sing Like [Eb] a mountain, and [F] glorify wise I will strive [Eb] and I'll pray To turn [F] that one ticking time [Eb] into a day And [F] lead this poor picture flashlight [C] in that way [G] [Gm] Like a mountain, like a mountain [G] [D] [Gm]
