also rec by Eddie Albert '58


High, high upon a mountain
I have a secret shrine.
High, high above the stormy clouds,
There the sun will always shine.

High, high upon a mountain
I go alone to pray.
All nature holds me in its arms,
All my burdens fall away.

I don't follow a winding highway,
And it's not on any map I've ever known!
In my heart there's a special highway
That leads to a place, all my own.

High, high upon a mountain
I have a secret shrine.
All the heaven sings inside my heart,
Peace and happiness are mine!

High, high upon a mountain,
There I always know
That peace and happiness are mine!
