On Up The Mountain Lyrics - Seeing Things - Jakob Dylan

You're old enough to know well 

The better things are all uphill 

Bitter songs are never sung 

In the highlands where you belong 

In the smoke of cannons below 

Men, they bury each other in rows 

People come, people go 

Work in numbers and leave alone 

There's a light making its way 

On up the mountain night and day 

And you'll get tired and you'll get weak 

But you won't abandon your masterpiece 

Off to sleep you'll go 

Through the halls and opened doors 

Silver bells swinging low 

Strung in branches of the unknown 

Soon morning comes 

To warm the world and wake you up 

Night is gone awful fast 

It ain't wrong to be sad 

There's a light making its way 

On up the mountain night and day 

And you'll go down and you'll go deep 

But you won't surrender your masterpiece 

Oh, here it comes and there it goes 

The unbearable sound of the earth making men out of boys 

First you learn and then you'll teach 

About that bright, bright light 

Making its way 

On up the mountain night and day 

And you'll get tired and you'll get weak 

But you won't abandon your masterpiece 

Now there's a light making its way 

On up the mountain night and day 

And you'll go down and you'll go deep 

But you won't surrender your masterpiece 

You won't surrender your masterpiece 

You will deliver your masterpiece
