A Little Wisdom from Patty Griffin’s “Up To The Mountain (MLK Song)”

Patty Griffin’s music inspires me and also soothes me.  Here is one of her songs that feels fitting today.

I hope you enjoy it.


“Up To The Mountain (MLK Song)”

I went up to the mountain Because you asked me to Up over the clouds To where the sky was blue I could see all around me Everywhere I could see all around me Everywhere

Sometimes I feel like I’ve never been nothing but tired And I’ll be walking Till the day I expire Sometimes I lay down No more can I do But then I go on again Because you ask me to

Some days I look down Afraid I will fall And though the sun shines I see nothing at all Then I hear your sweet voice, oh Oh, come and then go, come and then go Telling me softly You love me so

The peaceful valley Just over the mountain The peaceful valley Few come to know I may never get there Ever in this lifetime But sooner or later It’s there I will go Sooner or later It’s there I will go
