i climbed the mountain

i climbed the mountain

i saw the other side

and i can rest now

for i am satisfied

i saw a rich land

where each man had his share

i saw a free land

with freedom everywhere

and there was peace in the valley

there was hope in the land

there was joy in the children

there was love

beautiful love

in the heart of man

i saw a schoolhouse

where every child could come

i saw a table

that welcomed everyone

i saw a city

that had no slum to hide

i saw a prison

that had no one inside

and there was peace in the valley

there was hope in the land

there was joy in the children

there was love

beautiful love

in the heart of man

i saw the lion

lie down beside the lamb

i saw the white dove

asleep upon the sand

and i saw caesar

give up his mighty throne

and i saw johnny

as he came marching home

well

there was peace in the valley

there was hope in the land

there was joy in the children

there was love

beautiful love

in the heart of man

yes

there was peace in the valley

there was hope in the land

there was joy in the children

there was love

beautiful love

in the heart of man
