lyrics

Mountain of trust, starts with a few grains of dust
and with time, it'll bloom.
A friendship that lasts comes with joy and with pain and with time
and with patience and room.

How high can we climb?
Give me your hand, I'll give you mine.
A mountain of trust, we cannot know its height until we choose to go.

Mountain of trust, we'll take it one step at a time
there's no pressure, of course.
And if we forget where we have placed our hope,
we'll remember the source.

How high can we climb?
Give me your hand, I'll give you mine.
A mountain of trust, we cannot know its height until we choose to go.

From the top we'll gaze out over yonder new horizon.
Out over the Atlantic Ocean, sun is risin'.
We're on our way.

From the top we'll gaze out over yonder new horizon.
Out over the Atlantic Ocean, sun is risin'.
It's a brand new day.

Her songs vary in sentiment and topic - stinkbugs and coffee play a comedic counterpart to her more emotive compositions. ... more
