The farthest peak, it's in my view I think it knows the answers But it won't tell me what to do And so it keeps the mystery Of the way a man's to choose Hidden far from him

It seems so clear, but then again If the early smoke is rising Just after a morning rain It can be just like a shadow Shifting over and under and through Things can look so dim

CHORUS ✤ I don't know just why I hold it dear It offers hope but mixes it with fear The granite never seems to be as cold As the fragile hopes and hearts we want to hold

The farthest peak, it's hidden now The clouds on the horizon Have overtaken it somehow Whatever it is they're bringing It will weather through and then Ask for more you see

CHORUS ✤

The farthest peak, it's in my view Sometimes I see it clearly Sometimes it won't show through But I always know it's standing And it seems to be just now That it's close to me
