Livin on this level ground

Like a flatline heartbeat all around

The air is thick like black clay mud

And rainclouds cover up the sun

Way up high, it’s like a dream

Where the snow it falls and sun it beams

The craggy rock and the rocky spires

Seem to light my heart on fire

I don’t wanna come down

When I’m higher than the world below

I don’t wanna come down

The rocky mountains ease my soul

Winds, they howl and trees, they fall

Fires burn like the flames of hell

But fire brings life to the land

From life to dust and dust to sand

Well, the mountain treats us all the same

No matter race creed or name

All equal underneath the sky

To let us live, or watch us die

I don’t wanna come down

When I’m higher than the world below

I don’t wanna come down

The rocky mountains ease my soul

Precious life, its precious land

No respect and all demands

Afraid to walk above the clouds

Too afraid to speak out loud

Well,s ahadows cast across the plains

As the sun sets in a small refrain

While we scavenge fight and kill

The mountains stand and always will

I don’t wanna come down

When I’m higher than the world below

I don’t wanna come down

The rocky mountains ease my soul

I don’t wanna come down

When I’m higher than the world below

I don’t wanna come down

The rocky mountains ease my soul
