Family of the Mountains
change crashes down around my family of the mountains
newer ways have come people talk about things they could never know
and as the old ones look around at what's been left for them they see
the land they gently touched it's tethered now to the rich man's misery
let them be you see they're running scared
let them be now you've taken what they shared
their lives have been broken enough and cannot be repaired
prosperity has come but not for my family of the mountains
the quiet and gentle ones they had no ambition fired by greed
and as the old ones look around at what's been left for them they see
the land they gently touched it's tethered now to the rich man's misery
time passes on and so does my family of the mountains
the older ways have gone people search for a past that was always there
and as the old ones look around at what's been left for them they see
the land they gently touched it's tethered now to the rich man's misery
newer ways have come people talk about things they could never know
and as the old ones look around at what's been left for them they see
the land they gently touched it's tethered now to the rich man's misery
let them be you see they're running scared
let them be now you've taken what they shared
their lives have been broken enough and cannot be repaired
prosperity has come but not for my family of the mountains
the quiet and gentle ones they had no ambition fired by greed
and as the old ones look around at what's been left for them they see
the land they gently touched it's tethered now to the rich man's misery
time passes on and so does my family of the mountains
the older ways have gone people search for a past that was always there
and as the old ones look around at what's been left for them they see
the land they gently touched it's tethered now to the rich man's misery
