I have been to the top of the mountain

I have been through the valleys of hell

I have seen all manner of evil

I have seen things of beauty as well

I have passed through the kingdoms of heathens

Full of demons, betrayal and lies

I have passed amongst great many pagans 

I have crossed many bridges of sighs

***

​Holy Moses came down from the mountain

Holy Moses, he called out my name

Holy Moses, I have drank from the fountain of life

I have tasted both pleasure and pain

***

And now the day is done

And looking back I can see where I went wrong

And though I have passed through the valley of death

I have scaled many mountains of bliss

I have danced in a dream

I have loved in a stream

I have sung with a scream

And lived a life of no regrets

And it all came wrapped in a kiss.

***

​All through my life

I've made mistakes along the way

Now the time has come

To put these foolish things in place

All through my life

I've made mistakes along the way

Now the time has come

To put these foolish things away
