Moonbeams over the mountain, running from the rising sun

1932 Words & Music by Lenny Solomon

I farmed in Oklahoma, ‘til 1932

The year the dust bowl fever, stole the life I knew

It was then that I decided

To walk a brave new road

Mountain waters became my home

Feel the temperature rising, sweat pouring from my brow

Dust lifts up with each footstep, keeps me in the here and in the now

Life isn’t longer

Than its latest felony

Mountain waters, keep me free

Moonbeams over the mountain, running from the rising sun

Scorched by the edge of the fire, knowing that its time has come

To fly off to the distance

Like a broken memory

Mountain waters, keep me free

Streams swirl down the canyons, slicing the stone in two

They expose the time of the ages, in red and golden hues

Gazing across this valley

I feel my destiny

Mountain waters, keep me free
