I wish, I dream, I dream of mountains high

Where I can sit and look down the hills, and say "This is I"

I wish, I dream, I dream of mountains high

Where I can stand and raise my hands, and touch the sky



A streak of light, opened in the darkness

"Little child, welcome to the outer realms

This is your kingdom, this is your destiny"

That little child, that little child was me



"My son, you must wander far

There is a place, seek it skywards

Up high, where mountains break the clouds

There is your place, upon the highest mountain"



A wish to wander far, to find the mountains high

A dream to be king, up high where heaven lies

"Hurry little child, run, king to be, run

Climb the highest peak, and reach for the sun..."



I wish, I dream, I dream of mountains high

Where I can sit and look down the hills, and say "This is I"

I wish, I dream, I dream of mountains high

Where I can stand and raise my hands, and touch the sky



A streak of light, brought into the darkness

A young man, wandered into the outer realms

Oh, his destiny, that he was a king to be

That young man, that young man was me



"My son, you must wander far

There is a place, seek it skywards

Up high, where mountains break the clouds

There is your place, upon the highest mountain"



Upon the highest mountain...
