INTO THE MOUNTAINS
Set out from the city
Into the mountains
Think I’ll take it easy
On my first day
The sun’s like a beacon
Shining above
Like someone put it up there
To guide me away
I redirected my mail
Left the key with my neighbour
And turned off the phone
And oh, it’s been so long
Since I left home
She told me, go do it
Do what you have to
But once you’re gone
Don’t you come back
Until you find
That this life that you lead
Is a choice
And not some load on your back
I’ll be here in the fall
When the snow in the mountains
Might get you lost
But don’t you come running
Don’t you come crying
Until you’re across
The mountain stands like a fortress
Like a wall that you scale
You either make it or fail
You keep your eyes on the trail
What makes us do it
Take on the steep and rocky
Instead of the easier road
We put one step in front of the other
To feel ourselves under this load
And it gets lighter each day
At least that’s what I hope
As I shoulder my pack
And oh, for once I know
I’m on the right track
I’m on my way
I’m on my way
And I might go astray
And the sky may turn grey
I know I’ll be okay

(WHEN YOU’RE) OUT WALKING
When you’re out walking
There’s no need for much talking
When you’re walking
It’s all about the trail
When you’re out walking
There’s no need for much talking
You just walk the walk
There’s no way you can fail
I used to jump a plane each time
I tried to leave myself behind
Went to see the world
And never had much doubt
We used to brag about all we’d seen
My backpacking buddies and me
Now I’m wondering what the fuss was all about
Cause when you’re out walking ...
Now I’m putting on my boots
I walk anywhere I chose
What you haven’t walked
Baby, you ain’t seen
Dirt tracks and rough terrain
From the mountains to the plains
See the ocean from afar all blue and green
When you’re out walking ...
Now you can feel all safe at home
There in your comfort zone
But you’re missing out on life
Just out of reach
It’s all there for you to find
Once you leave the trailhead behind
I think I’ll shut up now
Cause who am I to preach
When you’re out walking ...

THANK GOD FOR THOSE PEOPLE
Met a man and a woman today
They were clearing the trail
Digging ditches for the water to drain
So I could be on my way
Thank God for those people
There’s a man who’s been walking up and down
All over these hills
Marking trees, marking rocks, marking roads
And he ain’t sending me no bills
Thank God for those people
I couldn’t really make it on my own
No matter how I try
Ain’t living on an island all alone
I might just need someone to guide me home
To help me get by
Men and women under the sky
Some are young some are old
Keep the fires burning up high
Offer shelter from the cold
Thank God for those people
I couldn’t really make it on my own
No matter how I try
Ain’t living on an island all alone
To find my way I might just need someone
To help me get by

Walk With Me

Walk with me
Won’t you come and walk with me
For a while along this way
Hopes and dreams and reveries
Have led us both right here today
And it may not be for long
For our paths may part again
So won’t you come and walk with me
Just until this road will end
I’ve been out here on my own
Sure don’t mind to be alone
Listening to the wind and rain
And I would love to hear your song
Melodies like morning rain
And your voice high as wind
I could find a harmony
There’s nothing like a song to sing
Breathing in the morning air
And the sun is on the rise
The promise of another day
And a glimmer in your eyes
Take it like a new born child
Take it like your final hour
It will never come again
But here it is and here we are

God By my Side

GOD BY MY SIDE
I can’t feel my feet no more
They hurt so bad they’re numb
Today I climbed two miles up into the sky
Left this morning at the break of dawn
Made a stop for some bread and cheese
Wondering why these mountains are so high
And if I wanna make it across this mountain range
I’ll need God by my side
I’ll need all the gods by my side
And if I wanna keep all the darkness from my brain
I’ll need you by my side
Something true I can’t hide
I’m feeling weird from the food I ate
Last night at the mountain refuge
I think I’ll need to lose it before too long
Wonder if the altitude sickness pills
I brought will be of use
Wondering when my headache will be gone
And if I wanna make it across this mountain range ...
Oh, what am I trying to prove
Somehow all I feel is tired and spent
Oh, at least some weight I’ll lose
They say this trip transforms you in the end
The sun it burns my skin
The rain is getting through my boots
Last night brought half a meter of fresh snow
I can’t see a thing out in the fog it don’t look good
Can’t tell which direction I should go
And if I wanna make it across this mountain range ...

Thinking Nothing

THINKING NOTHING
I’m walking straight on level roads
Today there’s no up or down
Nothing goes on in my head
No thought for miles around
Today I’m thinking nothing
My mind’s just drifting off into space
Today I’m thinking nothing
Don’t try to read in my empty face
Is that some random idea creeping up on me
No, it’s gone
My heart beat’s synced to the rhythm of my feet
I might just come up with a song
But no, I’m thinking nothing
My mind’s a glorious blank white page
Today I’m thinking nothing
Like all my pondering went backstage
Please don’t talk to me
Just let me be
Please don’t wake me up
I’ve had enough
Sometimes it’s like a bombardement
A noise that drowns me out
Something therapy and meditation
can’t do much about
But today I’m thinking nothing
My mind’s just drifting off into space
Today I’m thinking nothing
Don’t try to read in my empty face
Today I’m thinking nothing
My mind’s a glorious blank white page
Today I’m thinking nothing
Like all my pondering went backstage
Please don’t wake me
No don’t shake me
Please don’t wake me up

BREATHING, BREATHING OUT
Gonna keep on climbing
Gonna get up to the top
Gonna keep on moving
Whatever I do I ain’t gonna stop
Breathing in, breathing out
Find my rhythm, lose my doubt
Keep breathing in, breathing out
Find my rhythm, lose my doubt
Take it day by day now
Take it step by step
Gonna keep on going
Not wastin’ a thought
On what’s lying ahead
Breathing in, breathing out
Find my rhythm, lose my doubt
Keep breathing in, breathing out
Find my rhythm, lose my doubt
What you’re gonna tell me
What you’re gonna say
All your good intentions
Ain’t gonna stand in my way
Breathing in, breathing out
Find my rhythm, lose my doubt
Keep breathing in, breathing out
Find my rhythm, lose my doubt

ON THE OTHER SIDE
Some things you just cannot hide
If you wanna make it to the other side
Gotta face the truth within you
If you ever wanna make it through
Ooh, we will be alright
Ooh, on the other side
Gotta take it further step by step
Cause you know that we ain’t beaten yet
Keep moving on and never stop
All the way up to the top
Ooh, we will be alright
Ooh, on the other side
Through the cold and through the heat
Listen to your heart beat
And the rhythm of your feet
Will get you anywhere
Ooh, we will be alright
Ooh, on the other side
Ooh, we will be alright
Ooh, on the other side

Miles And Miles

MILES AND MILES
Today’s not a day for dark thoughts
Or feeling uptight
Today’s a day to watch the sun come up
Cause the clouds dissolved over night
And I’m climbing over the tree line
With my head up in the sky
And I can see for miles and miles
I’m moving forward swinging
Just dancing along the abyss
I’m walking a line between safety and chaos
Mortal fear and bliss
And there’s a chilly wind that’s blowing
And it’s making me feel so alive
And I can see for miles and miles
I can see for miles and miles
Don’t you know that you’re here with me
Don’t you know you will always be
And wherever we are we will see
The same blue sky
So I think I’ll stay a little longer
Cause the air up here is good
And I’m breathing in as deep as I can
Just like old Humboldt would
And I can see him up hear measuring
The blueness of the sky
And I can see for miles and miles
I can see for miles and miles

THE ROAD GOES ON
Further down that I go
The more it goes to show
This road don’t lead anywhere
It’s the moments we share
Just here and now
That’s all somehow
We run and climb
But all we find is
Beyond the shore
The road goes on
For evermore
Coming down from these hills
Hope that you’ll be there still
Right back here in your arms
Naked and disarmed
Just here and now
That’s all somehow
We run and climb
But all we find is
Beyond the shore
The road goes on
For evermore
