            I just don't know anymore the things I used to,
            before I climbed life's questions
            and found the mountains beyond that ever rise,
            that rise until you can hear eternity
            in the wind there.
  
            I no longer climb,
            there's no need to waste the time.
            The mountains march away from me
            and I can only just begin to see
            that God's hand that shaped this rugged land.

            Somehow the wind empties me
            of the wondering drive that always drove me on
            and now I just wait and listen.
