Over the Mountains

It is no secret that I am a huge fan of Scott Alan's music. This past week he posted a video of Stuart Matthew Price singing one of Scott's newest songs, called "Over the Mountains." 


As usual, I am blown away by the music, the lyrics, and the passion in the song. 


Below is the video and the lyrics. (At least, I hope I got the lyrics correct...sorry Scott!)

Here in this home

Here in this mess I have made

I am sure of whom I was believed to be

But as much as I have prayed

Nothing’s changed

I lived in lies

That claimed the ending of my youth

Now I fight to take my place here in this world

And I won’t return

Until I finally do

Over the mountains

They say a man stands for dignity

I’ll fight my battles troop I find my truth

Erasing the static and all this commotion

My family’s now the soldiers in my troop

My life is packed

Don’t know exactly what waits for me

Where the way I see the world around me change

Where my childhood died

A distant memory

I will stay brave

I’ll leave with thoughts that went unsaid

Of the concerns that I may never be returned

That the battlefield may be my home instead

Over the mountains

They say a man fights for freedom

A soldier’s not a boy there anymore

We’ll leave behind our families

To protect them from our enemies

And join a brotherhood fighting in war

I will be cautious, but I will thrive

I will do anything just to stay alive……………

Over the mountains

I will fight for freedom

When I return I will not be who I was before

I leave behind a family

Hide behind my identity

To join a brotherhood fighting this war

Oh.................

My country tis of thee

Sweet land of liberty

Of thee I say....

I won’t be silent

I will be changed

I’ll make you proud

You will be proud

Over the mountains

Over the mountains
