For the sake of my heart I am going To wander the mountains where I was born For the sake of finding my way again I must be in this place alone Where there's healing in the sun when she rises And forgiveness when she settles back down in the hills There's strength in the love of the living And in knowing how to be still Have you ever stood at the mountains As they change from blue to gray to gold Watching the painter's perfection Oh, what a sight to behold Can I show you a place in the quiet Where you can hear the wind humming through the trees The rustle of weed that is dyin' And the gravel beneath your feet Let's turn to the fire through the evening And watch as it changes the world to coal Like the memories we keep on fightin' They burn as they unfold Where there's healing in the sun when she rises And forgiveness when she settles back down in the hills There's strength in the love of living And in knowing how to be still Oh, there's strength in the love of living And in knowing how to be still
