Every Mountain I Climb Lyrics

Every Mountain I Climb lyrics

i saw judas iscariot, with a bottle of wine



talkin suicide with an old friend of mine



they gathered a crowd down at the end of the tracks



and a woman cried out when is god comin' back?







and they pretended not to notice



they came down hard on the weak



causing war and starvation, refusing



to let them speak







for every mountain i climb



for every river that winds



for every wind that will blow



i will send out my prayers







for the children below



i saw crazy horse walkin' alone in the dark



on the streets paved in blood



on his broken heart



he never dreamed it would turn out like this







they pretend that they just don't see



they are blinded in their own mediocrity



they got their trophies and their cars







and their houses on the hill



and they don't really care



that their wars are a killin' me







for every child that follows the dream



with ten thousand angels they'll fly



no one will force them to run



they will stand up and fight



till the battle is won
