August coming over the ridge
I can see it if I squint
Me and leaves are slowly dying
It could take a thousand years
A thousand broken bones and tears
To teach me how to break this silence

But there is a road over that mountain
Way up yonder (Way up yonder) on a new horizon
Can't you feel the blood in your heart pounding?
There is a road over that mountain

In my mind I’m going home
Every white line that I'm on
Seems to whisper, "Just stop tryin'"
Water rages beside me
Cold air sharpens what I can see
I told myself that I’m not worth finding

But there is a road over that mountain
Way up yonder (Way up yonder) on a new horizon
Can't you feel the blood in your body boiling?
There is a road (There is a road) over that mountain

Over that mountain

When you can't seem to find the sun
And you can't feel that distant hum
I hope you hear the spirit
I hope you live to find your way
And I hope I'm here to see the day
When you can hear that spirit callin'

'Cause there is a road over that mountain
Way up yonder (Way up yonder) on a new horizon
Can't you feel the blood in your body boiling?
There is a road over that mountain (There is a road)

There is a road over that mountain (Over the mountain)
Over that mountain, over that mountain
Over that mountain
Over that mountain
