Out on top of the mountain
Out away from it all
Stillness flows like a fountain
We drink thirsty as hell
Though I try to move I’m paralyzed in my sleep
Once again I need help
Shake me alive
Shake me awake
Oh won’t you lookout for me
Out on top of a mountain
All the trees! They rustle in their rhyme
And though it flows in and out then
It seems to hold me here in time
Though I try to move
I’m paralyzed in my sleep
Once again I need help
Shake me alive
Shake me awake
Oh won’t you lookout
I hear a call from the outer
Leading me in
Where I hope to find peace
Pieces of you are all I have left
Though I know I can’t hold them forever
Though I try to move
I’m paralyzed in my sleep
Once again I need help
Shake me alive
Shake me awake
Oh won’t you lookout for me
Shake me alive
Shake me awake
Oh won’t you lookout
In your eyes I see the story
Only one we both could tell
Bring us back to days of glooooory
Though we know we can’t hold on forever
Though I try to move
I’m paralyzed in my sleep
Once again I need help
Shake me alive
Shake me awake
Oh won’t you lookout for me
Shake me alive
Shake me awake
Oh won’t you lookout for me
Shake me alive
Shake me awake
Oh won’t you lookout
(spoken word)
And we are gathered here today
To sing songs of praise
Praise one another
For we all deserve Love
