My Soul Or My Sanity

I woke up this morning Heard a whisper in my ear. Said "Go back up the mountain Something more you need to hear." Looked out the window At the mountain I did stare Something then came over me Got on my knees in prayer The voice kept on haunting me Till no longer I could sleep. Is it my Soul or my Sanity? The mountain wants to keep? Is there such a mountain? Or is it only in my mind? Seems it keeps on telling me There's something I need to find Last time there He told me Of all the things He's done But I forgot to ask Him Why he took my son? Was there any reason? That I'll always question why. He's no longer with us. Why, was he the one to die? Said I should take His hand, Put my trust in Him. But I must be honest now My faith in Him is rather dim. Last time on that mountain His words went right into my heart, But the more I kept on thinking It started to tear my heart apart. Why is it so hard for me To believe in what You say? That there is a better place And You will show the way Did I lose my sanity? Did I lose my soul. Only this damn mountain knows If there's more stories to be told
