VIEW FROM THIS MOUNTAIN
By Stephen Cluff

I live on this mountain
I live here all alone
It seems I've always been here
And I've watched you all while you've grown
Now its getting harder to make theses pieces fit
Its getting harder to be away
But I'm trying harder to make these pieces fit.
Trying hard to stay out of my own way

The view from this mountain
Isn't what I expected to see
The view from this mountain
Only reveals myself differently

High above the tree line
The air is quiet and still but cold
I can see for miles and miles
But cannot reach anything solid to hold
And its getting harder to keep it to myself
Its a struggle not letting those words fly
Its getting colder and the solitude doesn't fit
Like it used to

The view from this mountain
Isn't what I wanted to find
The view from this mountain
Only shows me what's not mine

And its getting harder to think in this thin air
Its a challenge sometimes to simply breathe
The ground is trembling, it shifts beneath my feet
I'm afraid to stay, I'm afraid to leave.

The view from this mountain
Is no longer good enough for me
The view from this mountain
Only reveals what I already see
