Pine Mountain (To Be Truly Alive) Lyrics

Watching the fog gently roll down the countryside

The tops of the trees obscured by mist

From my vantage point on the peak of pine mountain

I think I know what it means to be truly alive

This is a thought I know I've had a million times

But there's something beautiful in forgetting

And walking back down through the wood between the worlds

I think I know what it means to be truly alive

And desperately I'll try to find the words to describe

What I know is indescribable

Watching my life flash by and trying to make out a rhyme

When i know it's already perfect poetry

In my dreams

It's a cool morning in July

And it's the first morning of your life

And everything seems as it should

Everything is in its right place

The ground is soggy the leaves are wet

And there is only the gentle upwards and downwards movements of the breath

Here in the foothills of the mountain

There is no inside and there is no out

There is only just now

And all that has been given and received

And all that has been given and received

The upwards and downwards movements of the breath

All that has been given and received

All that has been given and received

All that has been given and received

There is no inside and there is no out

The gentle upwards and downwards movements of the breath

It's all just a shadow now

It's all just a shadow now

It's all just a shadow now

It's all just a shadow now

To the vivid reality of this moment, at play, beckoning, beckoning, beckoning..
