Oh

Oh




Oh who has seen the righteous vision of what’s over the mountain top
The view that many dead leaders gazed on before their lives where taken
After they spoke to us about moving on as we stepped back

Oh who has felt the feeling of flying without wings through
As the world crashed to the ground from pushing of our shoulders
To get free and be at last with the light that we feel against our souls, never seeing

Oh what is the price that must be paid to get as many of our own to the place each one wishes to be
It would gladly be paid if the price was made know
Though the feeling of it is the realization that the price maybe to high
