The Mountain of Corsicana

You wanna go
You wanna go so bad
Your mother calls from the mountain

You wanna go
You wanna go so bad
Your mother calls from the mountain
To guide you

When your time comes

Bow before the mountain
Where the body lies so still

Where no heart beats
So the Chest Caves in

One last look
At the mountain

Eyes shut

Hands up

Reach blind towards the outcome

Will you look back?

When your time comes

You wanna go
You wanna go so bad
Your mother calls from the mountain
To come home

You wanna go
You wanna go so bad
Your mother calls from the mountain
To guide you

I let you go
I watch you fade away slow
What was once warm
Is now Ice cold

When I found you ice cold

Sickness crept with every step

Except

you still stood tall

Stood up high knowing you soon would fall

A man's fate is no mistake

And I can't fault

The soft grace through misery

When my time comes

I can only hope to just be half of

When my time comes

I can only hope to just be half of

Who you were

Stand up

When your time comes

You wanna go
You wanna go so bad
Your mother calls from the mountain
To come home

You wanna go
You wanna go so bad
Your mother calls from the mountain
To guide you.

I let you go
I watch you fade away slow

And yet despite it all

Not ever

Never a victim

What was once a man
Now is a mountain
