Richard Thompson
Boy on the Mountain
Can you tell me?
Is that boy still climbin' up the mountain?
Can you see him?
Yes, he's still making way or has he fallen down?

I can't believe it
That he's still up there looking for the answer
He's got a lot more courage
Than most of us have ever found

And it makes me feel like runnin' up there
Just take him by the hand
To make sure he's got his strength
And that he still understands

He is the last hope I know of
For the common good
He is the last hope I know of
For brotherhood
He's just one of few I can think of
That fully understood
That all dreams are the realities of man

And it makes me feel like runnin' up there
Just take him by the hand
To make sure he's got his strength
And that he still understands
He is the last hope I know of
For the common good
He is the last hope I know of
For brotherhood
He's just one of few I can think of
That fully understood
That all dreams are the realities of man
