WHEN THE MOUNTAIN CALLS
When you look out on your city – smell of concrete in your nose
Hounds are feasting on each other – rats are racing down below
And the Fat Cats of the system – are pulling tighter on your chain
You might hear the Angels weeping – through the rain
And you might hear the dancing flowers ring
And the eagle's wing above the clouds
And you might hear the forest whispering
And the rivers sing your name aloud
And when your pining heart has found the door
And you're done breaking down the walls
You'll come running
When the mountain calls
When you're feeling small and helpless – just a minnow in the sea
And your ego is reciting – all that you can never be
And your soul is weighing heavy – with all the hurt you carry round
You can better listen to your heart – says “lay it down”
Cos you can then begin to realize
That all the lies were never true
And you can learn to see how fine a light
Is shining right there inside you
And when you see that you were born of love
Were never meant to be so small
You'll come running
When the mountain calls
When you look out on your city – smell of concrete in your nose
Hounds are feasting on each other – rats are racing down below
And the Fat Cats of the system – are pulling tighter on your chain
You might hear the Angels weeping – through the rain

And the eagle's wing above the clouds
And you might hear the forest whispering
And the rivers sing your name aloud
And when your pining heart has found the door
And you're done breaking down the walls
