As a kid I tried to get away from people
In the hills behind our house I was peaceful
Y'know I used to wish that I could build a little palace
So I could leave and be protector of the balance
But what they used to say is I could talk for the nation
I never knew if it was rude or a word of affirmation
I would throw away every invitation
I was alive, Mmm
I was alive, Mmm
I became one with the mountain
And I was breathing that thin air
I became one with the mountain
I was alive, Oooo
I became one with the mountain
And I was breathing that thin air
I became one with the mountain
I was alive, Oooo
They've thrown away their flint and picked up headlights
They're building extensions 'cause who would want to downsize?
They can never see it like we see through their eyes
It's all alive, Mmm
I became one with the mountain And I was breathing that thin air
I became one with the mountain
I was alive, Oooo
I became one with the mountain
And I was breathing that thin air
I became one with the mountain
I was alive, Oooo
When our worlds collide
I'll stay by your side, Oooo
When our worlds collide
I'll stay by your side
I became one with the mountain
And I was breathing that thin air
I became one with the mountain
I was alive, Oooo
When our worlds collide
I'll stay by your side
When our worlds collide
I'll stay by your side
