The Mountain
I heard of a tale
Way high in the mountain
You'll find everlasting youth
If you drink from the fountain
No one has ever laid eyes
To say that it exists
An adventure I'm ready for
To explore and go find it
It's said the path only shows
In the moon's full light
So my journey begins
In the dead of the night
So I start at the base
Gorgeous mountain before me
I am excited to hike
In fresh air for exploring
I spot a family of deer
Half way up the mountain
I lost track of the miles
Got distracted from countin
The sun starts to set
As I round the bend
The full moon starts to rise
Light of day at an end
My anticipation it builds
The moon's lit up the path
My eyes are the first to see it
I don't know how to react
A beautiful waterfall
Way atop on the mountain
I have found it at last
There sits the fountain
So I pull out my cup
Dip it in for a drink
The water is refreshing
Whipping sweat as I think
Satisfied I have found it
My adventure's worth wile
Now full of new energy
My woken inner child
No one will believe me
I'll hear argues and shoutin
At least I know it's true
I found it on the mountain
