Change crashes down around my family of the mountains
Newer ways have come
People talk about things they could never know
And as the old ones look around
At what’s been left for them they see
The land they gently touched
It’s tethered now to the rich’s man misery
The quiet and gentle ones
They had no ambition fired by greed
And as the old ones etc.
CHORUS
Time passes on and so does my family of the mountains
The older ways have gone
People search for a past that was always there
And as the old ones etc.
