Jack White Great High Mountain Lyrics

Great High Mountain Lyrics

Once I stood at the foot of a great high mountain

That I wanted so much to
climb

And on top of this mountain was a beautiful fountain

That
flows with the water of life



I fell down on my knees at the foot
of this mountain

I cried, "O Lord what must I do?"

I want to climb
this mountain, I want to drink from this mountain

That flows so clean in
my view



Then I heard a sweet voice from the top of this
mountain

Saying, "Child put your hand in mine

I started climbing
slowly watch your steps at the edges

And take one step at a time



I started climbing upward taking one step at a time

The higher
I got the harder I climbed

I'm still climbing upward and my journey's
almost ended

I'm nearing the top and you ought to see the view

Oh
the water flows so freely, there's enough to make you free

So friend if
you're thirsty climb this mountain with me
