Beyond the Horizon

Here I am in this sweltering heat Trying to shake the dust off my feet And the evening gets longer and Night falls rapidly upon my shoulder I look beyond the horizon to see If you were standing there But the mountain stood still While the blazing heat climb Slowly up the hill, I saw a shadow Standing there with a bone arrow and a spear And the radiant light from the sun Penetrate it from above and sharpen its tip You were getting ready for battle And surveying the land with an old Rusty weapon and truck filled with gasoline Nothing was moving except your eyes Circling the landscape and the birds Standing quietly on the branches as if They were expecting a visitor And the heat continues to wet my body And drain my kinetic energy Something was about to happen but I could not tell from where I kept looking at you standing on the mountain And all of a sudden the wind began to blow and the rain cloudburst and cool down the earth Where do I go when there is no show Where do I go when the moon is still Where do I go when I want to climb on top of the hill And when the weather is fine must I stay here and wander in despair? I travel through the windows of my mind Searching for one solid line that everyone could sing But the voice could not blend because every one had a different rhythm I had to searched hard and long to get You off the mountain but you seem To like it there so destiny will Build a house for you up there You will have everything you need And you will enjoy the fresh air and the cool breeze Climb to the top of the mountain and hear the good tidings It is where the mountain touch the sky And where the rainbows lie They are coming in droves from the other side So climb to the top of the hill and say the last goodbye The message is deep and someone is waiting for thee. Climb to the top of the mountain and rescue me.
