A Journey of the Mind
START
A Journey of the Mind
I'm a little closer to heaven up here in the hills
Far away from the big smoke and all the city frills
Winding up the Alpine Way, whether day of night
Is such a blissful thing to do, as if a bird in flight
This one of seven summits was a monumental find
To be content to live here is a journey of the mind
START
A Journey of the Mind
Some folk make this journey early in their life
They have no need for clutter and endless years of strife
Wisdom, peace and contentment are worth living for
Instead of the current trend to long for more and more
This one of seven summits was a monumental find
To be content to live here is a journey of the mind
The trees and rocks are spirits of passed Aborigines
Who lived and roamed in the mountains, and danced Corroborees
Kosciuszko's face has softened over the centuries
While twisted tortured snow gums dread the next years freeze
This one of seven summits was a monumental find
To be content to live here is a journey of the mind.
