In awe of the magnitude and beauty of nature our hero/heroine have there first spiritual experience.
lyrics
Last night I felt the call of the mountain for the first time.
Calling me on in a mythical song on the wind
Like a titan it stands above the lawn green lands
In the midst of the wilds I feel as small as a child so humble
So much a a part of it all.
Yet it sleeps not caring for our dreams or our praises
touched by none but the smooth hand of the wind and the rain
It knows every green shoot and every tree's root
Its been talking to God since it was a babe
And I can't explain just how sweetly the light can change
On that mountain range
Its a home for the birds, its a home for the beasts
Its a place where I can feel free
There's none of the rush the destruction and crush of the city
Its a beautiful thing, a place to begin
A link with our birth, more devout than a church
And its living her beside me, yes its living here inside me.
