Life Have I Seen

I've stood on mountains high Swung the valley's low Kissed the starry sky Spoke of what I know Swam the oceans deep Walked the desert sands Calmed the savage beast Made up my demands Seen the city streets In the city's fog Heard the jungle beats Coming of the dawn Conclusions that are drawn In the dead of night Point to all that's wrong A day in the life Walked the narrow path The one less traveled on Seen what it is I lack A soul that's tired and worn Heard a distant call A whisper on the wind Of what it is I've done Of where it is I've been I stood to gain it all In the latter days Then I made the call To give it all away With a show of hands Show us where you've been Show us what you have Then show us all again Stood on mountains high Swung the valley's low Kissed the starry sky Spoke of what I know
