Some may walk on mountains, and drink that mountain air
But others are not suited to stay for long up there
It seems I've seen more valleys lately, in my pilgrim way
The sun is often hiding, and the clouds are often gray
Oh, I've not seen the sunset from the mountaintop in years
And I've not seen the stars shine from up where it's bright and clear
But I have never lost my faith in sunshine and in stars
I know that mountaintop cannot be far
So keep on climbin', pilgrim, and don't give way to fear
In the mountain or the valley, the Lord is always near
And He knows every step you take--He'll never lose your way
The path He puts your feet upon leads to the cloudless day!
Sometimes we see the journey, and so forget the end
But if we keep on holding to the hand of God our friend
One day the clouds will break apart, and suddenly we'll see
The mountaintop is right beneath our feet!
I know that mountaintop cannot be far
