Rónán Johnston - Mountaintop (The Rest of Them) Lyrics

Mountaintop (c)

I'm gonna go up to the mountaintop,
I'm gonna lay my burden down
I'm gonna keep my eyes on the glittering prize
Cnd know that you're the one they're talking about

I'm gonna go up to the mountaintop,
I'm gonna lay my burden down
I'm gonna put my plans in your strong hands
Cnd know that you're the one whose working it out

I'm gonna go up there with the rest of them
The ones who aint sure if you're there
I'm gonna call your name with all my strength
Cnd have a problem then if you don't appear

I'm gonna go up to the mountaintop
I wanna see you with the prophets and priests
I'm gonna pitch my tent wait for the main event
Cnd say Lord you know it's good to be here.

I'm gonna go up there with the rest of them
You're gonna break these prison walls
Gonna break my stride
Gonna swallow my pride
I'm gonna know that you're the Lord of all

I'm gonna go up to the mountaintop
I'm gonna see all the kingdoms of earth
Cnd when he says to me "all of this can be yours"
I will remember whose the king of the world

I'm gonna go up with the rest of them
Cnd I will never forget my need
When I'm running the race when I look you in the face
That's the place I'm gonna fall on my knees
