Say what you will but I’m still gonna climb that mountain in Hawaii
13 thousand feet and i know you think that its crazy to wanna see,
the place where the rock rolls to red molten lava and flows down to the sea
well you can sit there on the beach with your guitar and sunscreen till i come down
and tell you what i saw from mauna loa
well you know its in my blood in my soul to rise above the every day things
and the clouds,
for a different point of view even that of you
but i want you to come along,
and would you love more if i stayed on the shore counting seashells
beneath the shadow of the goddess mauna loa
well you think you’ve had enough you’ve read your spirit walker books
but ill tell you, it aint the same
till you climb to the top where the snow meets the rock of the tropics
so ill say again
would you love me more and would you stop and adore the fire in me
and the steam that i feel on mauna loa
no pain is no gain
and ill hope you’ll refrain from using swear words while we’re hiking
just keep your eyes on me and be careful of your knee
and ill lead us up to the crown,
up to the top of the world just you and your girl at the cabin
next to the crater where we’ll sit and stare in whats left of the air
as the sun goes down and watch the shadow of the earth rise behind mauna loa
no pain is no gain
and ill hope you’ll refrain from using swear words while we’re hiking
just keep your eyes on me and be careful of that knee
and ill lead us up to the crown,
up to the top of the world just you and your girl at the cabin
next to the crater where we’ll sit and stare in whats left of the air
as the sun goes down and watch the shadow of the earth rise behind mauna loa
