Ricky David Tripp - Man from the Mountains (A Tribute to John Denver) [*] lyrics
Why do things have to be as they are? Why do the stars that I try to touch Seem so near, yet so far? Just as it looks like I've found my place All my hopes blow up in my face Tell me, why do things have to be as they are? All the questions that men ever thought of And the answers that they seek I believed were all written On a high mountain peak And addressed to the man from the mountains And followed by a prayer That one day, in good time He would finally climb up the mountain And find the answers there When the man from the mountains first came Hardly a soul recognized his face Very few knew his name And he would ache for someone to sing to He had a message to bring to the world And since then it's not been the same When he sang, it seemed like he was able To cause the sun to rise And for those who were blind He could give them his eyes For he saw through a part of his spirit A spirit that we shared And we dreamed we would find Our own mountain to climb And with luck, we would find the answers there Why do things have to be as they are? Why did he fall from an autumn sky As he reached for a star If you could ask him, what would he say But that sometimes life is that way Don't you see that things have to be as they are? I can still remember him talking About a Rocky Mountain High And of things that are living And never will die Now he's gone to a heavenly mountain Where he sings without a care And everything is so clear In the music I hear Even God knows he found the answers there |
