lyrics

Blue needs no charter / to marble the veins
Green needs no ocean / to garner its name
Night needs no favor / weather no shame
Storms need no shoulders / to carry their rain
So neither do I need a witness / to nod and agree
If I see the mountains / they must see me

Leaders need titles / pastors need men
Authors need stories /more than stories need them
Nations need children / to rise and defend
And statues and pledges / and anthems I guess
They laugh as I lie on the floor / and I try to repeat
If I see the mountains / they must see me

Proof is as much of a blanket / as naked belief
If I see the mountains / they must see me
