lyrics

Little Tree, Little Mountain

There’s a little tree
There’s a little mountain
And I keep them in my heart
They protect me from the downtown
Where the streetlamps pull me apart

There’s a little tree, there’s a little mountain
And a river that’s deep and wide.
And they keep me high on the banks here
Or I’d be drowning on the other side

There’s a little tree, there’s a little mountain
And they are closer than you know
Old foundation, four walls around us
All are built from the plank and stone

Of the little tree, oh the mountain
And the river, so deep and wide
Yes they make this happy home, dear
Where we stay so safe inside

So now don’t fear your final passage
When you have to walk out alone
Just keep the boulder at your shoulder
And the branches where you can hold

Hold the little tree
And hold the mountain
And the river, so deep and wide
And the sunlight, that’s all around you
Will take you smiling to the other side

You’ll see the little tree
You’ll see the mountain
And the river, so deep and wide
And the sunlight all around you
Will take you smiling to the other side

Yes, the sunlight that’s all around you
Will keep you smiling on the other side
