Lyrics
If I could I would be a Mountain.
For every Eagle that would fly
I would be the home they?d take flight from every mornin?
And come home to every night
If I could I would be a beacon
Shinin? both night and day
I would shine down on the righteous oh yes
Shine bright and show them the way
But my roots are planted here firmly in the ground
At least it?s the land of the free
If I can?t stand there right next to you.
I know that your standin? for me
CHORUS
So I send you this message from home
Message of love
I send you this message from home
I wanna thank you
I send you this message from home
Message from the heart
I send you this message from home
If I could I would be a thunderstorm
Strike down all who?d cause pain
I would blow away all the evil in the world
And wash away sorrow with rain
But my roots are planted here firmly in the ground
At least it?s the land of the free
If I can?t stand there right next to you.
I know that your standin? for me
CHORUS
