Let Us Away Then

We seek out the high places,
For mountains soothe the soul.
They fill a heart with joy,
They make a spirit whole. 

So let us away then,
Let us scale some dizzy heights.
Let us wonder at the majesty,
And marvel at the sights.

So let us away then, 
There are secrets to be found.
Unnamed tarns, and waterfalls
Hid high above the ground.

We shall go there, you and I
And we shall find them all.
So let us away then,
For I hear the mountains call.
