On The Mountain
Lyrics
Two villages, two sides One mountain did divide They said choose us, and I asked why They said you stand for nothing otherwise Oh on the mountain, on the mountain I’m on the mountain, I Yeah, on the mountain high I spy with my little eye Two warring tribes Take each other’s lives But high on the mountain On the mountain I have peace of mind Something coming down the way Oh it’s gonna shake the day So proud of their divide They didn’t notice the water rise Swallowed both their tribes Almost every life While they were high on pride I was dry on the mountainside Paddling out, oh now they’re paddling out And here I’m looking down, holding my hand out Oh on the mountain, on the mountain I’m on the mountain, I Yeah, on the mountain high I spy with my little eye Two warring tribes Take each other’s lives But high on the mountain On the mountain I have peace of mind Up on the mountain, on the mountain Yeah, oh the mountain high I spy with my third eye Rebuilding one big tribe We care for every life We live on mountain pride We all have peace of mind Way up here on the mountain high On the mountain high, mm mm mm I have peace of mind
About This Song
A song about not picking sides even when you may be outcast for doing so.
What is the song “On The Mountain” by Chad Lewine about?
This is the only song thus far that I used "AI" to help. What I did was ask Claude to come up with an allegory about being confronted with two sides and how choosing neither side was the better choice. It generated a brief story and I took it from there.
