Tie my hands behind my back It's a habit, dressed in black Somewhere buried in the snow Find a blade to cut these ropes Are you shocked? I know To see a cathedral Carved out of rock Mother, I'm a mountain A holy man My body is sacred The colour of the night Surrender I remember Are those tears? I know To feel a fortress Built out of fear Mother, I'm a mountain A holy man My body is sacred The colour of the night Mother, I'm a mountain Himalayan My mind is wasted I will always be your child Surrender White flag We are each of us a mystery Manmade Show me secrets That only women know Hold me high above your head And let me go Mother, I'm a mountain I'm innocent My skin is a shield Reflects the morning light Mother, I'm a mountain Himalayan My spirit yields I will always be your child Surrender
