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


Words and Music by Newworldson

Behind the Song:
"In the Bible, lots of big, monumental events seem to transpire on mountains. Just ask Moses or Elijah. When I wrote this song, I was thinking about the Sermon on the Mount. It’s a metaphor for my own spiritual rebirth." - Joel Parisien (Newworldson)
