To my left a mountain stands It's been there since beginning On my right the sea It sounds so hard and unforgiving Straight ahead the sun still shines The sun that's always giving And right behind me lies a memory dead But oh so living Joanne she is still living here And nothing seems to change Except the trees, they're taller now And never stay the same Always growing up one way They always seem to go I'll tell you why they give us fruits As I stand and feel my God's own power Sweet life lived all around I'll tell you why they drop their leaves And grow and die and grow All things that live on earth must die So on and on they go, oh, oh I'll tell you why they drop their leaves And grow and die and grow All things that live on earth must die So on and on they go As finger tips cross my brain And burn and turn unfell to learn About the mountains The Sea And the world
