Texty: Duane Stephenson. From August Town. Misty Morning.

Take me high above the mountains
Let me fly on wings of love
Longing to taste the dew of a misty morning
Longing to see all that I knew
Don't know what you think of me
Cause my mind is always free
So why are you taking this from me?

Cause you alone want to live
You want to climb the highest mountain
Wanna swim the deepest sea
You alone want to live,
You alone want to live...

Overbearing is the least I could say
When you turn and walked away
And all I'm trying to do is
Just to make a better way
So my son don't have to stray
But you lock away my dreams
And all hope is gone - it seems
Why are you taking this from me?

Cause you alone want to live
You want to climb the highest mountain
Wanna swim the deepest sea
You alone want to live,
Cause you alone want to live...

From the depth I rose higher than before
Always stuggling to make it on my own
Aahh, from the ashes I rise
Not compromising my pride...

Take me high above the mountains
Let me fly on wings of love
Longing to taste the dew of a misty morning
Longing to see all that I knew
And you lock away my dreams
And all hope is gone - it seems
Why are you taking this from me?

Cause you alone want to live
You want to climb the highest mountain
Wanna swim the deepest sea
You alone want to live,
You alone, you alone want to live

Cause you alone want to live
You alone...

Cause you alone want to live
You alone, you alone want to live
You alone want to live,
You alone...
