Lyrics Verified by Editorial Team
I've got no explanation for why I feel this way
I ain't seen sun for months and the skies are always grey
It's been that kind of winter you wanna leave the north behind
But I've never been so happy
I'm in a summer state of mind
On my darkest day your light shined right in
Now I'm miles away from where I've gone and been
What else can I say about the state I'm in?
People say I've changed since I came down
Down from the mountain
I see angels and devils surrounding us down here
We were born somewhere in between love and fear
Just like a compass needle we spin from north to south
We see and hear no evil till it's comin' from our mouth
My cup's been filled since I came down from the mountain
The wheat's been milled since I came down from the mountain
My slate's been cleaned since I came down from the mountain
And my soul's been redeemed since I came down from the mountain
