Mountain
By Jan Harmon
poem 1974
music 1984
1. San Gorgonio ..
You have shown me
Ways of walking over stones like the river.
CHORUS: And the summit of Whitney
is an island.
And the wind off the surface of the sky
is salt.
When the clouds come like
breakers around me ..
then ..
I am free.
I am free.
2. San Jacinto ..
You have called me
When the meadow was asleep and silver.
CHO.
3. Shasta, sister ..
You have held me
When the wind blew hard and hollow.
CHO.
4. Half Dome, brother ..
You have told me
Seek the mountain and the sea will follow ..
CHO.
