I Can See The Mountains From The Plain

Sometimes when it’s late at night and rainin'

Sometimes it gets cool in early Fall

Sometimes I can see the light that’s fadin'

Sometimes I don’t know myself at all

Take me to a place where light is shinin'

Take me to that place where there’s no pain

I only know the horse that I’ve been ridin'

Cause I can see the mountains from the plain

Consider all the workers in their labour

Consider all the cowboys on the range

They still use the moon and sun to guide them

They don’t leave the stricken or the lame

Take me to that place where light is shinin'

Take me to that place where there’s no pain

I only know the horse that I’ve been ridin'

I can see the mountains from the plain

I have spent my life in open pastures

I am neither fish nor am I fowl

I have lived the life that I searched after

And I protect the weak from those who prowl

So watch the moon and see the stars of Jacob

As I rest my head beside the cooling stone

Know for every time there is a season

Know that we weren’t made to live alone

Sometimes when I hear the river’s water

Sometimes it sounds far when it is near

Know that we have loved and we have offered

Only all those things that we could change

So take me to a place where light is shinin'

Take me to that place where there’s no pain

I only know the horse that I’ve been ridin'

I can see the mountain from the plain

I can see the mountains from the plain
