Jakob Dylan On Up The Mountain Lyrics

On Up The Mountain Lyrics

You're old enough to know well 

The better things are all up hill

Bitter songs are never sung

In the highlands where you belong

In
the smoke of cannons below

Men they bury each other in rows

People
come people go

Work in numbers and leave alone



There's a
light making its way

On up the mountain night and day

You'll get
tired and you'll get weak

But you won't abandon your masterpiece



Off to sleep you'll go

Through the halls and opened doors

Silver bells swinging low

Strung in branches of the unknown

Soon
morning comes

To warm the world and wake you up

Night is gone awful
fast

It ain't wrong to be sad



There's a light making its
way

On up the mountain night and day

You'll go down and you'll go
deep

But you won't surrender your masterpiece



Here it comes
and there it goes

The unbearable sound of the earth making men out of
boys

First you learn then you'll teach

About the bright bright
light

Making its way 

On up the mountain night and day

You'll
get tired and you'll get weak

But you won't abandon your masterpiece



There's a light making its way

On up the mountain night and
day

You'll go down and you'll go deep

But you won't surrender your
masterpiece

You will deliver your masterpiece
