Upward over the Mountain

Chords: Em C G D

Mother, don't worry I killed the last snake that lived in the creek bed.
Mother, don't worry I've got some silver saved for the weekend.
Mother, remember being so stern with that girl who was me
Mother, remember that blink of an eye when I moved through your body.

So may the sunrise bring hope where it once was forgotten
Sons are like birds flying upward over the mountain.

Mother, I made it up from the bruise of a floor of this prison.
Mother, I lost it all of the fear of this life I was given.
Mother, forget me now, that the creek drank the cradle you sang to.
Mother, forgive me, I sold your home for the shoes that I gave you.

So may the sunrise bring hope where it once was forgotten
Sons are like birds flying upward over the mountain.

Mother, don't worry, I've got a coat and some friends on a corner.
Mother, don't worry, she's got a garden we're planting together.
Mother, remember the night that the dog had her pups in the pantry
Blood on the floor, fleas on their bones, and you cried 'til the morning

So may the sunrise bring hope where it once was forgotten
Sons are like birds flying upward over the mountain.
