First time I saw the pines hangin' on to that ridge line

The mist rolled in, but the fog began to clear

I’m staring at the summit soaring high above the ground

There might not be a heaven, but I'm seeing it now

When I hear that distant thunder

And the sky wakes from its slumber

All the troubles wash away in the mountain rain

The clouds shed all their tears

And it took so many years

All that remains is me and the mountain rain

Through the shifting of the sands

the mountain, it still stands

And it don't care ’bout time or us or change

And it makes mе feel so small, but still connected to it all

Lookin' at the dark clouds around thе range

When I hear that distant thunder

And the sky wakes from its slumber

All the troubles wash away in the mountain rain

The clouds shed all their tears

And if you listen, you can hear

All that remains is the sound of the mountain rain

When I hear that distant thunder

And the sky wakes from its slumber

All the troubles wash away in the mountain rain

The clouds shed all their tears

Like they have for all these years

Way up here, the truth will stake its claim

And it's all just like it was before we came

All that remains is the cold mountain rain
